Key financial facts and forecast
The average small farm does not turn a profit and Canyon Gardens is no exception to that rule. However, farm equity has steadily increased due to investments in equipment and infrastructure while not incurring excessive debt. Below is a balance sheet from 2017 detailing company assets and liabilities. Purchase price will clear existing liabilities. Balance sheet below does not include real estate value.
Reason for selling
The owners are moving soon, so Holly can take advantage of a promotion. The price is a bargain and is based on clearing existing business debts and asking price for headquarters property. The sooner that we have a buyer means the sooner that we can notify employee and lessor of additional property of change of farm ownership.
Required buyer qualifications
Buyer must have available finances to purchase business outright or accept owner financing terms.
