Didnt' read but half of the thread. Just wanted to say I love all the idiots yelling to turn it down when they have no idea how much you currently make, how much it's worth, or anything else.
Oh and the non compete, everyone I've ever known to sign one just has a friend open a similar biz.Comment

Here in the UK, you will only end up paying 10% tax if you've owned the company for 2 years and then sell. You should go see a good accountant and lawyer to retain as much as your loot as possible.
Going through something similar myself with my mainstream software company - but nowhere near as much loot.
The only downside is having to work for this company for 3 years as part of the 'earnout' deal. I'm told that's how things are normally done.. most of our money will come from share-options and cash bonuses based on a % of gross profit margins. Since they are preparing to float in 2 years those shares will hopefully be very valuable.
The reason we have to take the deal is cos we are over a barrel in a way.. we are partnered with this company and they are providing us with most of our business. They could pull the rug from under us at anytime and want to own us rather than pay us more in the long run.I don't endorse a god damn thing......

Forget about the money, ask yourself if this is what you wish to do or not.
If it is, keep the company and in a few years you will have a $10M company most likely.
If it is not, sooner or later you will grow tired of it, take the money now and invest them in what you really wish to do. Money invested in a company is also tax deductable.
You will only see growth in a company when you are focused on it, if it is not really what you wish to do, then when you hit some bad times it will be much harder to stay focused!I buy plugs

Well maybe you should finish reading the rest of the thread before you pop off?

That's great. However, with 3 people and taxes you are not winning that much. Not to mention the non-compete, that sucks. If you see your company growing that much in 5 years, I would make them double the offer. And have someone analyze your worth....Last edited by sherie; 08-20-2005, 06:25 AM.AIM sherierocks

If you think your company is growing fast, and it will be worth more in some years, don't give up

I spoke with my partners and they are not interested in selling. We just put together our financials so we could buy a new building and although we didn't make the buy-out amount last year, our growth trend is definetely impressive and we will most likely beat that number very soon.
Another caveat is that they want control of our parent company although the main one they're interested in is AF. I have another mainstream site that is rapidly growing that we had planned a massive marketing campaign early next year.
We have a meeting with our financial advisors and I will certainly let everyone know my decision. As of now, I'm not selling but will continue to build what we have. It's like raising a kid until he's 12 and then selling him off. This is our baby and it will be hard just to walk away from it.
