A Message from Ron Davis
Hello, my name is Ron Davis, and I’m Managing Partner of “the Graybeards”, a firm that does acquisitions and mergers, exclusively in the alarm industry. In the last 10 years we have helped dozens of alarm companies and their owners cash out, profitably, with expectations either met or exceeded. Along the way, we learned some fascinating facts about how to prepare an alarm company for eventual sale. Conversely, these facts can help you if you’re a buyer of alarm companies, because, believe it or not, both interests…buyer and seller … come together at some point in a transaction. During the next eight weeks, we will be sending you a series of INFORMATION POINTS about what we’ve learned in this sector of the industry, in an effort to help you, whether as a future seller or buyer.

In the coming INFORMATION POINTS, we will be inviting leading industry experts to give their opinions about the whole process of buying or selling an alarm company. It’s a fascinating process and we hope you will find it as interesting and educational as we have. By the time we have sent you the last e-mail in this series, you will likely be much more knowledgeable about this process of buying or selling an alarm company.

Unfortunately, and it is the nature of the beast, at this moment we don’t know whether you’re a buyer or seller. Just like most other companies in the industry (as well as almost all other industries), we are confined to mailing this information, via e-mail, in the hopes of hitting our target market right on the head. If, for some reason we’ve missed and you are receiving this in error, just ask and you will be taken off our mailing list… permanently. It’s not our intention to be intrusive…but rather helpful.

And now, here is, in its totality, the first great idea in successfully completing a transaction:

To paraphrase a lesson lawyers tend to relay to their clients, think about this: “The seller who represents himself in a transaction involving the sale of his company, has a fool for a client!” That’s not to say that everyone who goes into a transaction without good advice gets taken, but when you’re a seller, the likelihood is you’re only going to sell a company once. ...

Warning - Potential Tax Increase
Current low federal and state Capital Gains tax rates are scheduled to end soon. To avoid paying at what many feel will be record level capital gains tax rates…as much as 60% higher than today, you need to contact us if you’re thinking about selling. We’ll help you keep more of your hard earned money in your pocket before it’s too late. This could be the last good opportunity for many years.

Plan for the Future
Most alarm dealers will eventually sell their companies. If you’re ready, or if you’ve wondered what the process is like, and how you should go about it when the time comes, give us a call.
