Do you know what the business you are looking to buy or sell is really worth? Are you relying on the appraisal of the business owner or their broker?

Think again…… The number one mistake buyers and sellers make when purchasing or selling an existing business is paying too much or selling to cheap. Do not let this potential financial disaster happen to you. At the very least, you can minimize your chances of making a poor financial decision with the right information and tools.

Determining a company’s value is not an exact science. Businesses are unique and their value cannot be determined by a simple rule of thumb. The smart buyer or seller will normally use more than one method. Your short-term goal should be to come up with a figure from which the buyer and the seller can negotiate a price that is satisfactory to both parties.

One thing for sure is that financial numbers, if accurate and used properly, are a solid snapshot of the value of any business, at any given point in time.

Our Business Valuation Software is easy to use. Anyone with a Windows® computer can find out the approximate value for many small to medium size businesses. This time and money-saving software will help you evaluate a business whether it is a traditional or a web based business.

No complicated math or formulas. You do not have to be an accounting expert or have any special math skills to use this software. The easy-to-use guide walks you through step-by-step. Our business evaluation software will do all the calculations for you.

The program works like this: You enter certain numbers from your business financial statements, customer data base, and tax return into the software. You will find the numbers you need in your balance sheet, profit and loss statement, tax return, and customer data base if you have one. If you do not have a customer data base you can still estimate customer value using another method.

1. The program uses the following business valuation methods:
   
2. Capitalized Earnings
   
3. Tangible Assets
   
4. Customer Value
   
5. Profits

The Business Valuation Software will do all the calculations necessary to give you a good estimate of the fair market value of the business you are looking to buy, sell, or evaluate. This easy to use program will also show you your ROI (Return On Investment).

After the Business Valuation Software is finished, you can get a print out on paper to show to your bank, accountant, prospective buyer, or anyone else, the value of the business and the exact procedures you used in determining that value.

If you do decide to use a business appraiser or business broker, this important financial tool will let you compare your business evaluation against their business appraisal.

Once purchased this program can be used again and again for “what if scenarios.” At the very least a business owner will be able to monitor the value of their business and see how other factors change the value of their business from year to year. It is a great management tool for business owners to use even if they are not going to sell their business anytime soon.

And if someone should ever offer to buy you out, there's only one way you'll know whether or not their offer is sound. And that's if you know the value of your business.
