Business Valuations Done—Professionally and Confidentially

Knowing the value of your business is the key to securing your financial future. Far too often business owners have relied on inaccurate information, friends and other uniformed sources who will tell them what they want to hear about the value of their business– -only to find that reality is far different.

Professionally valuing your business, not guessing at its value, is critical if you do not want to risk leaving money on the table or scaring away buyers. A professional valuation not only helps to provide a defensible position for the business owner, it also identifies those areas which could be improved upon to increase the business’s value.

What is your business really worth?

Our team’s extensive experience with business transactions provides a unique background to help you understand the value of your business.

The business valuation process can take numerous alternatives and methods to arrive at a value. In general, valuations fall into three categories:

1. Asset Valuation,
2. Market Valuation, and
3. Seller Discretionary Earnings (SDE).

Each of these approaches will generate a different value for the business. Upon review of your unique situation, we can help you determine which approach will yield the most appropriate valuation for your business.

Sellers must remember that a professional valuation is an opinion of a price at which a typical buyer should pay for your business. It does not take into account the negotiating skills of the seller or buyer and/or their individual objectives. Click to Learn more about factors that may affect the selling price of your business>>
