Acquisitions Network LLP: Valuations

Industry averages indicate that only 30% of businesses listed go to closing. Businesses that invest in the valuation close over 70% of the time.

The value of your business and the price must be justifiable to potential buyers. An independent third party evaluation will assure that the price presented to buyers is believable, reasonable and well positioned against comparable businesses available in the market.

Acquisitions Network has strategic alliances with the premiere valuation companies in the country. These firms specialize in business valuations for small, mid market and large companies. Depending on the size of your business, they can tailor the valuation needed to help sell your business.

The valuation will assure a fair price for your business based on:

Rigorous asset-based, income-based, market-based and proprietary valuation methods

An unparalleled database of business comparables at the national and local market level

A justification of the price for the buyer

A valuation format geared to the application requirements of commercial and SBA lenders

The following valuation services are offered:

The Value Analysis: Designed for businesses with revenues under $1 million

The Formal Valuation: Designed for businesses with revenues between $1 - 5 million

Merger and Acquisition Valuation: Designed for the needs of mergers and acquisition with revenues in excess of $5 million

The key to having a viable valuation performed on a business is to have it performed by an independent third-party service. Without a third-party valuation, a seller should be prepared for heavy negotiation because it will be the seller's opinion of value versus the buyer's opinion.
