Pricing your business sale | South Coast Business Bulletin

"At an initial meeting, a small business owner will usually ask a business broker what he or she thinks their business will sell for. The business broker usually explains that a review of tax returns, financial information, assets to be sold, etc. will be necessary before a range of pricing can be suggested.

Some sellers have an idea about what they feel their small business is worth. Many sellers have absolutely no idea. Some have an ill-conceived price in their mind based on what they want or need financially to exit or retire.

Of course, we all know that the amount they desire usually has absolutely nothing to do with the appropriate business value.
