Common Questions

Valuations & Sales, Answered

Why can't I just use an industry rule of thumb?

A multiple you heard at a conference is not a valuation. It ignores your margins, your customer concentration, your owner dependence, and your add-backs. Those are exactly the things a buyer will price. Guessing typically costs more than the valuation does.

How is a business valuation actually calculated?

We analyze the financials, normalize for owner add-backs, and apply the income, market, and asset approaches appropriate to your situation, then benchmark against comparable transactions. You get a documented range with the reasoning shown, not a single unexplained number.

Should I get a valuation before I plan to sell?

Yes, and ideally well before. A valuation tells you what the business is worth today and which drivers move that number, which is what gives you the time to actually improve it.
