Buying and Selling
Understand how the value of a business is determined. We help buyers and sellers navigate fair pricing, due diligence, and successful transactions.
Three ways to locate a business for sale
Every buyer needs to answer key questions: What is a fair price for the business? How can that be determined? Why does the seller want to sell? What are the rules of the game? How can you tell if the business is a genuine going concern or someone else's discard?

Methods of appraising small business
When selling or buying a business, it is paramount to understand how the value of a business is determined. There are several ways to find the value of a business.
Accepting Book Values as Correct
The value of a business is the summation of current and capital assets, less liabilities. This method estimates book value, which rarely reflects market value.
Adjustment of Book Values
The value of a business is the summation of current and capital assets valued according to open market, less liabilities.
Comparative Sales Approach
Determines the value of a business by directly comparing it with similar enterprises recently sold or currently held for sale.
Sum of the Assets
Every asset of a business is individually appraised and the going concern value is found by summing the respective value contributors.
Capitalizing Net Profits
Discounts or capitalizes historical average or pro forma net operating profit, producing a single estimate of going concern value.
Discounting Projected Earnings
Same as capitalizing net profits, but projected into the future — providing a forward-looking estimate of business value.
