Complimentary Opinion of Value
Find out what your business is worth
Most owners sell once. Before you talk to a buyer, a banker, or anyone else, it is worth knowing what you actually have and what would move that number. No cost, no obligation, and no one finds out you asked.
What You Receive
More than a number
A generic multiple tells you almost nothing. An informed Opinion of Value tells you where you stand, what buyers will pay a premium for, and what would raise questions in diligence.
Thinking About Selling
The questions that matter
If you are considering a sale now or somewhere down the road, these are the things worth knowing before you make a decision. A professional Opinion of Value answers all five without committing you to a process.
- What is my business actually worth in today’s market?
- Who would be the right buyer for what I have built?
- How do I keep employees and customers from finding out?
- What should I fix before going to market to maximize value?
- What does a realistic timeline look like from start to close?

Your Opinion Of Value
Here’s what you will learn
A real value range
Built from your financials, your operations, and what acquirers are actually paying in your industry right now, not a rule of thumb applied to revenue.
What drives your number
The specific factors raising your value and the ones quietly lowering it, while there is still time to do something about them.
Guidance on timing
Whether the market and your business favor moving now or preparing first. Sometimes waiting eighteen months is worth a great deal of money.
A clear next step
