UNDERSTAND YOUR BUSINESS VALUE

Your asking price
needs a clear story.

What you want for your business and what a buyer can justify are two different starting points. A thoughtful review helps connect your goals with the evidence.

BEYOND A SIMPLE MULTIPLE

Six things that shape the conversation.

A preliminary broker opinion is not a certified appraisal, a lending approval or a guarantee of a sale price.

Sustainable earnings

Understand repeatable cash flow. Separate genuine one-time adjustments from costs a buyer will continue to incur.

Your role in the business

Account for the time, skills and compensation needed to replace the owner’s work.

Customer & team stability

Review concentration, recurring relationships, retention and the people needed to operate after closing.

Assets & working capital

Explain equipment condition, inventory quality, receivables, payables and near-term replacement needs.

Transfer & transaction risk

Leases, licenses, contract assignments, financing conditions and seller training all influence the opportunity.

Relevant market evidence

Compare the business with appropriate actual transactions, recognizing differences in timing, scale, margins and terms.

Provide estimates if exact figures aren’t ready. We capture your desired price separately from earnings so expectations can be reviewed honestly.

What would a successful sale look like?

Your asking price is your goal—not our opinion of value. We review earnings, risk, assets and market evidence before discussing a potential range.

Please don’t include tax IDs, bank details, employee names or customer lists. We’ll arrange appropriate document sharing after initial contact.
