Are you thinking about retiring or selling your business in the New Year? If so, getting a business valuation should be an essential component of your plans.
Certified business appraisers can help facilitate a business sale by determining the fair market value of a business. This avoids leaving money on the table, so you can get the best possible value.
When values matter during a business sale, we recommend receiving a thorough business valuation depending on your unique situation, including:
- If you’re starting the sales process, reach out early to a certified business appraiser, who can thoroughly assess all factors that might impact the business valuation.
- If you’re already in the process of negotiating a sale, get a certified business appraiser involved as soon as possible, in order to resolve any potential discrepancies in value.
A recent business valuation was prepared when negotiations for selling a business stalled over the sales price and securing financing. The buyer had relied on a CPA firm that had valued the business at $800,000. A certified business appraisal substantiated the value of the business, enabling the seller to make a substantial amount more on the sale and the deal was closed at an expedited pace, minimizing further buyer due diligence and reducing costs.
