Will this work for my company?

To make sure that this report will accurately reflect the value of your business we need to begin with some questions to ensure that your particular business is not beyond the scope of this website.

Does the business have Intellectual Property such as patents or trade secrets that took more than 6 months gross income to produce and that are not yet producing revenue?

Has the business been producing revenue for more than one year?

Is the business involved in significant litigation that could have a material impact on the financial health of the company?

Are you trying to estimate the value of one part of the business (not the whole business)?

If real estate is being included in the sale, can you estimate the fair market value of the real estate?



Does the company generate cash flow for its owner(s)?

How high are sales?

Is the company publicly traded?

Is the business?

Notes
We are asking these questions because we want to produce an accurate value for your business. this online tool is not able to do so if:
  • Intellectual Property needs to be valued.
  • The business has not been operating for at least a year.
  • The chances of litigation success needs to be evaluated.
  • The valuation is only for a portion of an existing business
We would be happy to explain why our engine can not accurately assess the value of a business with these issues and to do a customized professional valuation. Please contact us for more information.

  • Intellectual property includes patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights. If you have spent significant time and effort to create specialized knowledge that other companies do not have and can not easily duplicate it increases the value of your business. Valuing this type of asset is beyond the capability of this software.
  • Litigation is considered significant if a material judgement against the company could reasonably occur. Selling a company with a significant legal liability is difficult. Settling a suit before a sale may be a wise move.
  • Excluding part of a business in a sale is difficult because a buyer will worry that part of the expenses involved in operating the portion of the business that is for sale will have been allocated to the portion of the business that is being retained by the current owner. Calculating a discount for that uncertainty on the part of a buyer is beyond the scope of this software.
