Frank Mermoud - Are you a business owner that's interested in selling your business? If so, I can only imagine one of the main questions at the top of your mind is, how can I sell my business fast? That's a very valid question and one that needs to be answered. After all, you've spent years building up your business and you're ready to cash out and you want to do it as quickly as possible. I get that, no issues there. Let's first start by saying, some brokers will tell you, it will take them 1 year. yup, 12 long months to sell a business. I mean really? That's a long time and there is not 1 business owner that is going to wait one year to sell their business. Brokers will try to "force" you into signing a year long agreement that states you give them the right to make an attempt to sell their business within a 1 year time period.

Frank Mermoud | What's a Business? Grandad, what's a business?  This is a simple question but like many simple questions the answer is a bit more complicated than you might expect. Complicated but easy to understand if you let Grandad explain. Quite simply, a business is a group of people who are joined together to sell something to bring in money, referred to as "income". A business can be very small, even just one person. This small business can have a legal form or the person can just consider himself (or herself) to be "self-employed". Even a one-man business must bring in enough money to pay for his living costs. Otherwise he will need to get a job in another business or live on social security paid out by the government and that is no fun at all. The size of business that we meet most often is as small as 2 or 3 up to as many as several hundred. These companies are often referred to as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They normally hav...

Frank Mermoud | Business Coaching for Business Improvement Frank Mermoud Business coaching can actually bring the much-desired changes to your business. Coach is a word which is derived from "kocsi", a Hungarian name that means "carriage". Today, however, the word has a wider use and it basically means transportation of people from one point to the other where they desire to be. Business coaching , therefore, can be defined as a process that can be applied so as to move a business from its current position to where the owner envisions it to be. What a business coach does is to offer guidance and assistance to the owner in view of business growth, helping in the clarification of the business vision and how exactly it can fit well with the personal goals. This is a very important step and should be a point of focus. Business owners should be made to understand the importance of reaching their goals for the business and how it can affect them personally. The...
