How Much Is My Business Worth?

Valuation is often the first question on every seller's mind — and the one that matters most to get right. We've completed valuations across a wide range of business sizes and industries, and we apply the standard that fits your situation: - Fair Market Value— The price at which your business would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with neither under pressure to act and both reasonably informed of the relevant facts. This is the standard most commonly used in a sale. - Intrinsic Value — What a knowledgeable investor would consider the business truly worth, based on its underlying fundamentals and earning potential, independent of what the market is currently paying. - Fair Value — A legally defined standard applied in specific contexts, such as shareholder disputes, divorce proceedings, or dissenting shareholder actions. - Investment (Strategic) Value — What your business is worth to a particular buyer, factoring in the synergies, cost savings, or strategic advantages unique to them.
