Business Valuations

Buying or selling a company will be one of your most important decisions in life, so you need someone you can trust. Michael has valued over 1,000 small businesses in his career. He is an expert in uncovering the key risks in a potential transaction whether you are buying or selling.

Selling Your Business

We can help you get your business in the best possible position for selling, as well as calculate EBITDA and help determine a fair multiple. There are several factors that will affect your potential sale price, such as:

• history of profitability

• growth potential and historical growth

• clean financials

• specialties that you bring to the business

• your current level of oversight/management

We will analyze all of these factors and advise on how to get your business in the best shape possible for a profitable sale. If you are thinking about selling your business, get in touch with us as soon as possible as the improvement process can take a year or more.

Buying A Business
