We recognize that your business is more than just a financial asset; it’s a legacy that embodies your hard work, values, and dedication.
These are the steps that we believe constitutes a successful business sale.
Initial Engagement
Comprehensive Business Insight
Our first step involves a better understanding into the essence of your business, capturing its history, operational dynamics, financial health, market stance. This foundational understanding allows us to appreciate and later articulate the unique value of your business.
Aligning with Seller’s Vision
A crucial conversation unfolds around your motivations for selling, encompassing your aspirations, the timeline you envision, and any particular concerns you harbor about the sale’s trajectory. Understanding your objectives is paramount to tailoring our approach to meet your needs.
Pre-Valuation Preparation
In-Depth Financial Research
We conduct an analysis of your business’s financial narratives over the last 3-5 years.
Market and Industry Research
We analyze market and industry trends, identifying factors that could influence your business’s valuation, such as growth trajectories.
Comprehensive Asset Assessment
We catalog both tangible and intangible assets and capture the Goodwill value of your business. This spans real estate, operational equipment, and inventory to intangible assets like trademarks, customer relationships, and proprietary technologies, each contributing to the business’s intrinsic and extrinsic value.
Valuation Execution
Methodology Selection
Tailoring our approach, we select the most fitting valuation methodology, be it asset-based, earnings-based, or market-based, contingent on the specific attributes and sector of your business.
Market Condition Adaptations
The valuation is fine-tuned to reflect prevailing market conditions, ensuring the business’s value captures its current and potential worth accurately.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill Evaluation
Special attention is given to assessing goodwill and other intangible assets, considering brand equity, customer loyalty, and market positioning, which significantly augment the business’s value beyond its physical assets.
