Maybe youre selling your business to retire or youre handing over ownership to a successor. Or perhaps your business has become a financial burden and you feel its time to let go. Whatever the reason for selling your business, consider all your options, along with the benefits, consequences and costs.
Preivously, weve discussed the most common mistakes business owners make in selling their business. Transferring business ownership is often a complicated process, with rules and regulations to follow. Here are six things to consider before you sell:
1. Exit Strategy. Selling your business starts with a plan, advises the U.S. Small Business Administration. You need steps to navigate the process. G
Irish rock star and philanthropist Bob Geldof has raised $200 million for the African private equity fund ’8 Mile’, in a major move away from seeking debt forgiveness for the poverty stricken region to a new emphasis on promoting private enterprise.
‘Africa is now a continent of extraordinary business and investment opportunity,’ Geldof said in a statement reported by eyewitnessnews.co.za.
TOKYO (AP) – Japans industrial production rebounded 4 percent in December from November and household spending increased for a second month, suggesting the still-weak economy is gaining some steam after last years tsunami disaster and flooding in Thailand that disrupted manufacturers supply chains.
Output of automobiles, cell phones and semiconductors drove the gains last month after production fell 2.7 percent in November. Manufacturers project further production increases in January and February, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said Tuesday.
But Japans unemployment rate edged up to 4.6 percent and Junko Nishioka, economist at RBS Japan Securities, cautioned that the economic outlook was “mixed.”
While she was heartened by the 0.5 percent uptick in family spending, Nishioka said prospects for Japans vital manufacturing sector remained tentative amid weak export demand.
“The pace of recovery will be slow,” she said.

AUSTIN (KXAN) – U.S. Sen. John Cornyn on Monday signed on as a co-sponsor of legislation to ensure that a Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline gets built.
President Barack Obama this month put the so-called Keystone XL Pipeline project on hold so that additional proposed routes could be considered to minimize any environmental threats. Keystone supporters say the project will reduce the United States’ dependence on oil from the Middle East.
“The Keystone XL pipeline will bring thousands of long-term jobs and energy security to the United States, and will be good for the economy, good for national security, and good for Texas,” said Cornyn, R-Texas.
The sponsored by Cornyn and 43 other senators from both parties would authorize TransCanada to construct and operate the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta, Canada, to the U.S. Gul
Corporate Knights has announced its 2012 list of the Global 100, its annual ranking of what are ostensibly the worlds most sustainable companies. And once again the list is deeply misleading.
The list is topped by pharmaco Novo Nordisk, Brazils Natura Cosmeticos, Norwegian energy company Statoil, the Danish biotech company Novozymes, and a Dutch company called ASML Holding, a manufacturer of photolithography machines used in the semiconductor industry. Some will surely express surprise at the list — after all, none of these companies is in an industry known for being squeaky-clean. But thats not the real problem.

The state’s economy will continue to grow at a tepid pace in 2012, mirroring the national recovery, according to an economist at New Mexico State University.
In his economic forecast for New Mexico, Jim Peach said the economy will generate between 8,000 and 12,000 non-farm payroll jobs this year, which is consistent with historic averages.
“Unfortunately, at this rate it will take New Mexico three or four years to have as many jobs as we did when the state entered the recession in 2008,” Peach said. “Even
