Free Valuations Online

We hear this question several times a day.

Business valuation is a mix of art and science. Some elements, like pulling information from your P&L or Balance Sheet are straight-forward. But other elements involve interpretation and judgment. Two companies with identical profit and loss and balance sheet numbers can have very different fair market values. We know this as well as anyone: We have been buying and selling businesses for over 30 years and valuing businesses just as long. Lots of people: friends, business associates, and even financial professional who should know better, are all too happy to offer simple advice like: A business is worth 1 times (or 2 times or 2.75 times) it's annual sales A business is worth 3 times its net profit A business is worth 2 times its balance sheet net worth And so on... Others overcomplicate it: There are business valuation software packages that sell for as much as $300. What's more this software require installation on your computer and requires you to spend considerable time inputting data, and answering questions. Professional business appraisers charge upwards of $10,000 to estimate the value of businesses, even smaller businesses Some companies even run slick seminars to convince business owners that their proprietary method of valuations can yield 2 or 3 times the sale price of other methods. The catch: you have to do pay them $40,000 to $50,000 upfront, with no guarantees! We have put together a web based valuation tool that is neither too simple nor too complex. It is based on our years of valuing and selling privately held companies, and on accepted principles of valuation. Our system interviews you, asking for financial and non-financial information. In about 20 minutes, you will have a complete VALUATION REPORT on your business or the business that you are considering for acquisition The report will detail the methodology we used to arrive at the valuation. This report can be printed out. And it`s free! We intend to charge for this report in the near future. But for now it's available to you at no cost. So, if you want to know the fair market value of a company you want to buy or sell, of it you're just curious, click continue.
