What is My Company Worth?

Knowing what your business is worth puts you squarely in control of the selling process. This is the know-how that you simply cannot afford to delegate, regardless of whether you opt to use the services of a business intermediary.

Small business valuation is a sophisticated blend of art and science that aims to provide an impartial opinion of value. Yet your business is unique. Your buyer, too, has a unique set of motivations and goals that make your business especially attractive.

Moreover, successful deals are structured for both the optimal price and acceptable terms. Here are some value drivers that work to determine the business value:

• Business earning power.
• Likelihood of the business income continuing into the future.
• Effective barriers to entry which reduces competition.
• Availability of business acquisition financing.
• Active pool of qualified buyers that may be interested in your business.
