Michelle in Woodinville.<\/p>\n<p>The evening was, well, sublime. The winery provided a magical venue. And David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash again showcased their just massive musical talent.<\/p>\n<p>But the evening also reminded me of an underappreciated small business truth: Entrepreneurial longevity produces big benefits.<\/p>\n<h2>Tripling or Quadrupling Your Venture\u2019s \u201cExit Value\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>For example, longevity boosts the exit value provided by most small businesses\u2014and often in an enormous way.<\/p>\n<p>Disappointingly, small businesses often sell for rather modest price-to-earnings multiples. The average multiple, in fact, probably runs about 2.5.<\/p>\n<p>If your small business returns $100,000 in cash profits to you because you\u2019re the owner, for example, the business may be worth about $250,000. Net of things like cash and accounts receivable, then, you might be able to sell the business for around a quarter million.<\/p>\n<p>That makes sense if you think about. Think about how much you\u2019d want to pay for a business that makes $100,000 in cash profits.<\/p>\n<p>But you want to know a potentially easy way to dramatically boost your \u201cexit value\u201d? Simple. Work a few more years.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if rather than sell out today for $250,000 in cash, you work another five years earning $100,000 in cash a year and <em>then<\/em> you sell out for $250,000 in cash, you\u2019ve extracted $750,000 in cash. (Five years with $100,000 of profit a year plus the $250,000 sales price.) That\u2019s three times as much.<\/p>\n<p>Work another ten years, and you\u2019re looking at an extra $1,000,000 in cash flow from the business as compared to simply selling out today. (Ten years with $100,000 of profit a year plus the $250,000 sales price.) That\u2019s five times as much.<\/p>\n<p>Longevity makes a big difference to your effective exit value\u2014or at least it does if you selling a business means you fully retire and then work on your golf game or travel.<\/p>\n<h2>Massively Boosting Your Retirement Income<\/h2>\n<p>Another benefit of longevity? Working and saving a few more years can produce a gigantic bump in the retirement benefit you can safely draw from your IRA, 401(k), SEP and similar accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The math here gets complicated. But someone who retires today with $1,000,000 might feel comfortable counting on an annual pension benefit that starts at $40,000 as long as the benefit gets adjusted annually for inflation and goes on for 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>If this person works five years longer, however, and so only counts on twenty years of payments, the person might feel comfortable counting on a larger pension benefit that starts at $60,000.<\/p>\n<p>That fifty-percent bump in retirement benefits stems mostly from an extra five years of compounding and because the payments last for twenty years instead of for twenty-five years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> I used the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firecalc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.firecalc.com<\/a> website to calculate annuity amounts that had a 98% chance of success. For the \u201cretire in five years with a starting benefit of $60,000 a year\u201d scenario, I assumed the business owner earned 5% on the retirement balances and saved another $14,000 a year using something like a Simple-IRA account.<\/p>\n<h2>Extending Your Most Productive and Prolific Years<\/h2>\n<p>A final quick point\u2014and one that\u2019s a little harder to quantify:<\/p>\n<p>Health allowing, your most productive wealth-building and income-generating years may be your last few years.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, after three or four decades of effort, you\u2019ll have more experience than at any earlier point in your business career.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll know more. And about all sorts of stuff related to your industry, your customers or clients, your vendors and suppliers, and then all the other people and businesses you can trust and want to work with.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, you may have all sorts of financial and even non-financial opportunities present themselves to you&#8211;and at a point in your life when you\u2019ve never been better prepared to exploit such opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>This situation might mean you have your highest income years or that you nicely grow the business during those last few years.<\/p>\n<p>Some people might scoff at this. And probably none of us should count on working or actively operating a business until we\u2019re age seventy or older. I acknowledge that.<\/p>\n<p>But I got to tell you\u2026 For three hours on Saturday night, Stephen Stills, David Crosby and Graham Nash showed about five thousand of us that at nearly age 70, they aren\u2019t worn out, but still white hot.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Do You Own a Small Business?
