We begin by understanding your objectives:
Are you selling, planning an exit, or just want to assess your business’s health? This step ensures the valuation aligns with your purpose.
We gather the necessary business information, including:
• Financial statements (3+ years)
• Tax returns
• Owner’s compensation and add-backs
• Lease agreements, key contracts
• Equipment lists and inventory
• Business operations overview
Our team reviews your financials to normalize earnings and identify discretionary expenses. We calculate SDE (Seller’s Discretionary Earnings) or EBITDA, depending on business size and type.
We apply one or more industry-recognized valuation approaches:
• Market-Based Approach: Compares your business to recent sales of similar companies
• Income-Based Approach: Projects future cash flows and applies a discount rate
• Asset-Based Approach: Evaluates the tangible and intangible assets of your business
We use data from comparable transactions and industry reports to position your business within the broader market and support valuation multiples.
You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand valuation report with:
• The estimated business value
• Supporting financial metrics and analysis
• Key drivers of value
• Recommendations to enhance value prior to sale
If you’re preparing to sell, we help you understand the next steps—whether it’s listing your business, improving value drivers, or navigating buyer discussions.
