So Why Should A Business Owner Consider An Independent Business Appraisal When They Want To Sell Their Business?

In today's market, many business owners still leave substantial money on the table when they sell their companies - most often because they do not truly understand their company's value.

For that reason, the business valuation process is a true asset to you, the business owner. A thorough, professionally prepared business valuation will assist you in:

• Identifying the key value drivers, major strengths, and, more importantly, the major weaknesses of a company. Knowing these, you can solve both the obvious and hidden problems prior to beginning the selling process.



• Determining a reasonable selling price. Many business owners rely on general rules of thumb, casual advice from friends, or calculations from their tax accountants. Values determined by general multiples or rules of thumb may be too high or too low. Unless you go through the business valuation process, you just won't know the true value of your business. If your expectation of your business's value is too high, it's going to prolong the selling process until you make a price concession. If the price is too low, you're going to leave money on the table.



• Negotiations. Fully understanding the value of the business will give you an advantage during negotiations. In this market, one can expect buyers to be sophisticated and experienced. They will conduct a rigorous analysis of the company, even if you haven't. They will look at those factors and value drivers that you and your advisors should be considering in valuing the company, and they will use that information against you in negotiations if you're not prepared for it.

And the most compelling reason to have your business appraisal done by an independent third party business appraiser is that you'll now have accurate and defensible business values.
