I Don’t Need To Value My Business Because I Know What Some Similar Businesses Are Worth:

If Your Business Loses Money, It’s Not Worth the Time & Money To Value It

Many small businesses reduce profit by paying large end of year bonuses or by other means. A good business broker can properly analyse your figures and adjust the profit according to well established accounting procedures. Also, there are other measures of value outside profit and an experienced analyst can advise you of this. You may have assets that others want or are about to enter upon a period of prosperity after years of research and preparation for success.

I Only Need To Value A Business When I Am Going To Sell Or Buy It

Generally people think that the time for valuing a business is at the time of selling or buying it. Yes, business valuation should be done at the time of selling or buying a business. However, most business owners ignore the fact that a business should be valued regularly while running the business. Every business owner should have an exit target price and if you don't have a current valuation you don't know the size of the gap between current value and target value.

I Should Sit And Wait For A Buyer To Come And Approach

You will be very lucky if someone taps you on the shoulder and wants to buy your business. However, this can be a long and unfulfilled wait, and often means that the necessary preparations for sale are not made. It can also involve a lack of competitive bidding tension as the buyer knows it is the only interested party at that time. A better outcome for owners usually comes from a proactive, process-based and time limited approach to finding a buyer.
