Business Appraisals

One of the most important services that our business brokers provide is appraisals. To accurately value your company, we consider many factors, both internally in your business and externally within your marketplace. Some of these factors include:

• Your ability as an owner and the ease with which a new owner will be able to take over your role in your business’s daily operations.
• Your business’s condition. This includes your assets, liabilities, inventory, status in the market, profitability, and overall condition.
• Your competition and your company’s ability to be competitive in the future.
• Your company’s past, present, and projected future performance.
• Your company’s customer base and the ease with which new customers can be attracted to your business.
• Your ability to provide favorable sale terms for buyers. Your willingness to negotiate, your pricing expectations, and your ability to finance the sale all factor into this.
• Your ability to transfer ownership of all company-related property. This is especially important in terms of leased property, as buyers will want to have the option to assume your leases.
• The overall condition of the marketplace and how other companies are selling locally.

These and many other factors must be considered to ensure that your company is valued correctly. Accurately valuing your company is a vital step in the sale process. Failure to correctly value your company can make a sale nearly impossible.

The Effects of Inaccurate Valuations

In situations where your company’s value is overestimated, selling your business can become challenging. It can cause you to price your company out of your market, which prevents quality buyers from considering your company.

An inaccurate valuation can also cause you to develop unrealistic expectations of your company’s value. When these expectations are not met, you may become discouraged. It can diminish the chance of a successful sale and cause negotiations to become more contentious, causing negotiations to break down.

Inaccurate valuations that cause you to undervalue your company can be just as dangerous. This can result in you having an asking price that is too low. This can prevent you from maximizing your profits. When you price your business below market, it will likely attract lower-quality buyers.

Whether it’s overvaluing or undervaluing, an incorrect valuation of your company can have devastating consequences. At Morgan & Westfield, our team of business brokers will make sure that your company is valued accurately.

We will personally research your company, review your financial records, and investigate current market conditions in your specific location and industry. This will help us ensure an accurate appraisal.

All of our findings will be detailed in a formal valuation report. We will provide you with recommendations for a most probable selling price.

The Importance of Pricing Flexibility

You must still maintain some flexibility in the way you view your company’s value. Even though we ensure that your business is accurately valued, valuations are not an exact science.

Morgan & Westfield has some of the best appraisers and brokers in the industry. Even so, we may recommend a selling price, but it does not mean that price is guaranteed.

The factors we consider during your appraisal may change or a buyer may have a different opinion of your company’s value. To successfully sell your business, you must understand that these variables will change.

Remember, only the market and what a qualified buyer is willing to pay can determine your company’s ultimate value.
