ACQUISITIONS
The passionate team at Say Yes! Enterprises (SYE) believes in creating win-win situations for both the business seller and the investor. The acquisition process with SYE happens in three swift phases. From start to finish, our closings can happen in days or weeks, not months. The SYE team works with business owners to find a fair valuation for their business and carry out an exit plan that meets the business owner’s needs.
INVESTMENTS
The experienced team at Say Yes! Enterprises (SYE) connects investors with excellent acquisitions. Investments are stringently vetted. (Only 6.8% of businesses get to phase one of our acquisition process.) After a business is acquired, the SYE team continues to work with investors to improve the acquisition, making the business more valuable. Investors with SYE acquire lucrative assets, not time-consuming jobs, and receive significant ROI.
PARTNERSHIPS
The results-driven team at Say Yes! Enterprises (SYE) offers their proprietary Growth Acquisition Partnerships G.A.P. Partner Program where business owners benefit from the business acumen of the SYE team. Business owners receive one-on-one attention to address specific business problems in preparation for successful exits. These partnerships have an aggressive timeline of results and the G.A.P. Partner Program consists of a consistent monthly investment, equity release or a combination of both.

PROCESS
Discovery
Sellers submit their information and financials to the Say Yes! Enterprises (SYE) team along with a request for an initial seller’s discovery call. An accepted discovery call with SYE is a sure sign that your business has great potential to exit. Only 6.8% of businesses that contact SYE reach the discovery call acceptance. This is a fun and easy call between the business owner and one or more members of the SYE team. In addition to learning more about the business and the potential for SYE to acquire the business, the SYE has two primary questions: What does the seller want, and can SYE deliver on those wants?
Valuation Determination
Valuation is a tangible determination of a business’s worth. Accurate valuation protects all parties involved in an acquisition. SYE multiplies EBIDTA or SDE by an industry multiple to determine valuation. Other factors, such as market data, competitors, assets, and intangible data about unique assets, are also considered. At this phase, SYE finds and verifies data to support the company’s valuation while the business owner can present any additional data that supports the valuation. Half of the businesses that start the discovery phase continue on to the completion of the valuation process.
Making an Offer
Making an Offer: Once SYE understands the business and determines a fair valuation for it, the final phase is to present the offer to the business owner. The offer can consist of an acquisition, a partnership, or a combination of both. Acceptance of an offer from the business owner means that the business owner can expect a closing within weeks, sometimes even days -- not months.

SERVICES
Business owners have plenty of pain points that are holding them back from the goal of growing and exiting their company. The team at Say Yes! Enterprises (SYE) have a knack for identifying those pain points and helping business owners quickly implement effective solutions. Anyone can identify problems, but it takes a skilled eye to know how to fix them.
Have you ever heard the story of the $10,000 screw? A man thought his car had reached the end of its useful life. He eased it into the mechanic’s garage, barely making it there. After a brief inspection of the car, the mechanic claimed he could fix the problem in five minutes. After the mechanic replaced a single screw, the car that seemed to be unfixable ran like new again. The car owner was ecstatic and was eager to pay the mechanic whatever was due. The mechanic handed him a $10,000 invoice. The mechanic explained that he wasn’t paying for the cost of the service (the screw that fixed the problem) but for the years of experience the mechanic had to know how to quickly identify and fix the problem by finding the screw that fixed the issue.
That is the same quality and experience that SYE brings to business owners. Don’t pay for the screw - pay for the experience. Lessons are freely learned but wisdom is earned. With years of experience growing, acquiring, and selling great businesses, the SYE team has the eye of expertise that can transform a business without wasting time and money that comes along with learning expensive (“free”) lessons on your own.
Businesses thrive on marketing and management. Marketing attracts customers, and management is the process of guiding employees towards delivering for those customers.
Systems require supporting data. In one acquisition turnaround, the business was spending thousands of dollars per day on advertisements that were not producing consistent results. The same business also had consistently unprofitable months at the beginning of the year. The Say Yes! Enterprises team fixed these problems by advertising in different avenues and investing in keyword research to discover which advertisements really worked. With this proven data, a marketing campaign focused on the reasons customers shop in the traditionally slow months, which led to the business being profitable at the beginning of the year for the first time ever in the company’s years of history. This achievement would not have been possible without the right systems in place.
The passionate team at Say Yes! Enterprises (SYE) believes in creating win-win situations for both the business seller and the investor. The SYE team has been on both sides of the closing table, as the business seller and the business buyer. Every deal is approached with understanding both views of the respective parties and how to create deals and arrangements that benefit all involved.
The acquisition process with SYE happens in three swift phases. From start to finish, our closings can happen in days or weeks, not months. The SYE team works with business owners to find a fair valuation for their business and carry out an exit plan that meets the business owner’s needs. The SYE team has actively acquired businesses for years in a variety of sectors and industries.
Valuation comes from multiplying EBITDA or SDE by an industry-specific multiple. EBITDA and SDE are not going to change rashly because they are based on past financial data. A business can, however, increase its valuation exponentially by acquiring more service lines or entire businesses, thereby increasing the multiple of the business.
For example, a skincare spa falls under a single multiple. However, when that same skincare spa starts selling skincare products online, additional retail multiple factors (2X+) are from the eCommerce component. If the spa’s online store sells a subscription service, an additional recurring revenue multiple (5X+) factors in. A single skincare spa can go from having one multiple to over seven (7X+) in a matter of months by making simple strategic improvements.

Helping You Say Yes! To Your Next Opportunity
At Say Yes! Enterprises, we understand that a business acquisition is far more than a business transaction for the business owner. It is a process that involves a great deal of planning, mutual trust, and excitement. You’re allowing a stranger to step into your old dream and carry the torch or while giving yourself the freedom to step into your new dream. People choose to sell their businesses for a variety of reasons. For some, it is time to retire. For others, it is time to focus on a new passion. Many business owners just want a change, and many are enthusiastically seeking relief from some part of their once beloved business that is no longer satisfying their professional and personal needs.
Whatever the reason, the Say Yes! Enterprises team understands that business owners do not seek acquisitions to buy services, have conversations, or get involved in some never ending process. Business owners start the acquisition process because they want and need a change sooner rather than later. The Say Yes! Enterprises team has an allegiance to getting business owners to your next opportunity, whatever that may be. With our quick closing process and proven partnership opportunities, Say Yes! Enterprises gives business owners the power to say ‘YES!’ to everything they have always wanted.
