Are you running a valuable business?

1.       How valuable is your business?

2.      Are you maximizing your business investment opportunity ?

3.      Will you get enough when it’s time to sell?

These are some of the questions business owners think about but seldom have time to investigate.  Demands from business, personal and the unexpected leave little time for the longer range planning that can have a major impact on the value of your business. We think the analogy “too busy driving to stop for gas” is a fit description for this all too frequent occurrence.

If this sounds familiar to you, we offer a couple of suggestions that can help you get on track;

1.       Business assessments that identify opportunities within your business

2.       Business valuations that benchmark the MPSP (most probable selling price) for your business

The process begins with an assessment tool called the Sellability Score, an interactive tool that gives you a comprehensive assessment of the "sellability" of your business, whether you want to sell now or well into the future. It’s a short 30 question survey that’s confidential and absolutely free. Your answers produce a report that scores the “sellability” of your business, identifying areas of opportunity to improve value.

We also conduct business valuations, providing our Opinion of Value on the Most Probable Selling Price (MPSP) for your business. We utilize historical financial data for the business and industry comparatives for businesses sold in your industry. A business valuation is a great tool to benchmark with certainty the value of your business at any given time. This is a fee based service, please contact us if you would like to more information about a valuation for your business.

As we approach the end of another year, make it a part of your 2015 planning to take the steps right now to make sure you have a valuable business  - one that buyers want to buy - when it’s time to sell. .
