Evaluating a business is a complicated process. Every business is unique and has its own value. If you price a business too high, there will be no buyers
and the business will sit on the market for too long which can have a negative impact on the business and if you price it too low, then as a business owner,
you may loose thousands of dollars. This is where a business broker comes in. Experienced business brokers are familiar with the market trends and the
price that various businesses are being sold at. They can also bring forward only “qualified” buyers which means you, as a business owner do not have to
waste your time with buyers that do not have good credit history or money to purchase the business. Business brokers can also assist you in structuring the
sale so it makes sense for everyone and will facilitate the selling process. Every business is different yet every industry has a set formula that could be used
to come up with a price range. The length of time, the business has been established, the length of the current lease and its terms, whether it is absentee-
owner or owner operated, its financial records, the value of its fixtures, furniture and equipment, the amount of inventory at cost, the level of competition in
the area and its goodwill all play major role in evaluating a business and coming up with an accurate value.
