Re: [WISPA] WISP Business Broker Recommendations to Sell WISP?

2017-12-08 Thread t...@steelinternet.com 
Lots of reasons, I have been in the WISP industry for 18 years and I am very 
good at it as well as I enjoy the work. The connection to the community, the 
difference we can make in the lives of our customers when we deliver internet 
into areas no one else can.  Its an amazing industry with some incredible 
technology that changes frequently. Just a lot of fun, some can make a lot of 
money some just manufacture a job. But in my opinion it’s one of the best jobs 
there are when you do it right.

Re: [WISPA] WISP Business Broker Recommendations to Sell WISP?

2017-12-06 Thread Justin Wilson 
Having been involved in several sales (7 to be exact)  here is what I know.  
Please know I am tech guy and there are much better business folks on here that 
could talk circles around me.  I just have been in the thick.


-Have as much of everything documented as you can.  Tower sites, IPs, where 
stuff is.  You would be surprised how many WISPs don’t.
-Have contracts on your towers/grain legs/rooftops/whatever.  Nothing makes a 
buyer more nervous then not knowing if their towers will be there tomorrow. Do 
this now because if tower owners catch wind of you selling they may demand 
better terms.  Get them locked in when things are running normal.  
-Don’t get hung up on your equipment. Don’t let the buyer try to negotiate you 
down based upon your equipment too.  Most successful sales I see focus less on 
the equipment and more on the business.  What does the business do today if 
nothing is changed? How much money does it bring in? Where can we trim costs 
without doing a single upgrade? 
-Have stats on backhaul capacities, AP capacities, etc. Potential buyers look 
at this for promotions, upping speed packages in areas, etc.

If you have to choose have the business side in order before the tech side.  
The tech side can be fixed with money.  If the business side is missing money 
because clients aren’t being billed, lots of collections, etc. then it’s an 
uphill battle. 

Just some random thoughts.
