Business Valuations for Sellers
Importance to Buyers & Lenders
Have you ever considered selling your business? Have you ever been approached by a competitor or prospective buyer about selling your business? As a small business owner, if you plan to sell your business at any point in the immediate OR long-term future, a professional business valuation should be the first link in the chain of events. If a business is overvalued, it will not sell. If a business is undervalued, the seller will lose significant earn-out. In most cases, a properly priced business will sell and all parties will walk away satisfied; a proper price is the result of a professional valuators opinion.
You have invested years of your life creating, sculpting, and refining your business. When it comes time to sell, you deserve a fair price! Anyone can formulate an opinion and make an educated guess.

We can minimize your risk by providing a fair market valuation based upon proven principles, thousands of market comparables, verifiable valuation models, and more than twenty-five years of experience!
Know your value. Know your business.
In today's economy, a business valuation is almost a requirement when selling a business for the following reasons:
- Buyers, lenders and other financial institutions must have a third party, professional opinion to protect their interests and ensure fairness in the business transaction.
- Sellers are protected by getting a fair price for their business. There is a significant difference between tax value (or book value) and fair market value.
- Professional business valuations significantly reduce price negotiations and haggling between buyers and sellers.
- Without a business appraisal, the seller can be legally responsible for inaccurate financial information, inadequate disclosures, and other misrepresentations; exposing you to potential lawsuits and/or failed business transfers
Protect your business. Protect your family. Protect yourself. Conduct a business valuation if you ever plan to sell your business!
