You are about to list your business for sale with a broker. You have spoken to a couple of brokers, and they have provided you with their free appraisal, and have suggested a listing price. But their price doesn’t match what you think your business is worth. How do you get an unbiased assessment quickly?

We can help. We offer an independent appraisal of your business, with a realistic price guide. We have no incentive to under- or over-state the value of your business. This is a cost-effective way to get the value of your business assessed quickly.

In many cases, brokers will use their appraisal and listing price is a way to sell you on signing with them. Their appraisal is not independent, and is designed to get you to choose them to represent your business. Too often we see owners’ price expectations being inflated. This can lead to a frustrating sales campaign after you have signed the listing form where you are repeatedly told to lower your price expectations; to be ‘more realistic.’

Another use for this type of appraisal is to set an indicative price when you have been approached directly by someone wanting to buy your business.

A business appraisal is not a Business Valuation. A valuation is a more structured, indepth (and therefore more expensive) process.
