Valuing your Business

Getting the right price for your business involves many factors, including starting with the correct valuation from the beginning of the sales cycle. If you start out with an asking price that is too low, the business owner will not receive as much as they should get for their business. If you price the business too high, valuable time and prospects will be lost while the “market” determines what the actual price should be.

Many times an interested buyer will make an offer that is lower or different than the price and terms asked by the seller. They will base their offer on their own valuation formula or a “rule of thumb” given to them by their accountant or friend. Without an independent third-party valuation report, a business owner should be prepared for intense negotiations because it will be your opinion of value versus a buyer’s opinion. A buyer will place little credibility in the broker’s opinion of value.
