Do you need a small business valuation for a service, retail, distribution, or manufacturing business?

Are you considering selling your business and need to know how much it's worth?

 

Our Business Value Analysis will show you the probable selling price of your business at a fraction of the cost. It can mean tens of thousands of dollars to have the right price!

How we value a business to determine what the company is worth:

 

Businesses are valued based on a multiple of the earnings. However, business owners minimize earnings to reduce their tax liability. In order to determine the real earnings of the business, we “recast the financials” of the business to arrive at the “Discretionary Earnings”. Then we research databases to find the sales of similar businesses to obtain “comps” and find the right multiple for your business. The results are provided in a Business Value Analysis Report.

Speak with a professional.

All inquiries are confidential.
