How to Value a Business
If you are thinking of selling your business, you need to know what it is likely to sell for so you can put it on the market at the right price. We offer you two business valuation options.
We offer our Market Value Report, at $1,500 for most businesses. We use the Direct Market Data Method to prepare this report. In this method, we use your financial data and information on what businesses like yours sell for to prepare an estimate of what your business is likely to sell for.
For a more complete business valuation, we recommend one of the business valuations listed below. We are so confident of the value of this report that if you have us provide this business valuation to you, we will reduce the commission owed when we sell your business by the price of the business valuation. All of these business valuation reports are prepared by accredited business appraisers.
