What Is A Business Valuation?
A business valuation (appraisal) is a definitive, alternative, unbiased and reliable confirmation of what your business is worth at a specified date.
Why Have a Valuation On Your Company ?
There are many reasons to perform a valuation. Here are just a few:
1. A valuation doesn’t leave money on the table.
Why guess at what your business is worth? $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 left off the sell price...why take the chance?
2. A valuation justifies the sell price to a buyer.
In fact, our statistics show that a business that has been professionally appraised sells for at or no less than 5% of the asking price. Without an proper valuation statistics show that your business will sell for approximately 15% less than your asking price.
3. A valuation “sells” your business.
Our statistics prove that almost every business that is professionally appraised sells! Businesses without third party appraisals sell about 50% of the time.
4. A valuation can be used by a bank to support a loan to a qualified buyer.
Many banks use our valuations to determine if the business has the capacity to support financing.
5. A valuation saves time.
Our statistics show that businesses sell almost twice as fast as businesses without a valuation.
