This is probably the first question that came to mind when you first considered selling your business. You probably have a vague idea on how to value your business, some combination of assets and revenue right? Well, I often find that owners believe their business is worth more than what a potential buyer is willing to pay. It is this disconnect where it pays dividends to have the right person on your team to sell your business for the best terms. 

Furthermore, this disconnect is very common. You’ve spent years devoting your time and skills to your business, investing personal and financial resources and making great sacrifices. However, a potential buyer is not likely to place any financial value on those intangible inputs. 

What you need now is a professional assessment of your business valuation based on current market conditions and comparable sales. I’d like to offer you a free business valuation that takes into account all of the most significant value indicators to create, for you, a personalized strategy for exiting your company in the most favorable way possible. Just because a buyer doesn’t have a means to value your dedication doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be rewarded for it. 

Determining your business value is not an exact science. There are a number of variables that make even seasoned professionals miss the mark. Generally, your valuation is predicated on the expected future cash flows for the buyer and whether the company is sold to an internal employee or external party.
