FAQ'S

QUESTION: What does BOTH a buyer and a seller of a business have in common?
ANSWER: They both need to determine the value of the business.

Sooner or later most small to medium sized businesses will eventually require a valuation of the business for some purpose. The most common reason for most business valuations is for the purchase or sale of the business. However, a variety of other reasons can also be the motivation behind a business valuation. Listed below are some of the common reasons to have a business valuation:

	Acquisition, sale or merger
	Buy-Sell Agreements
	Dissenting Minority Stockholders position
	Charitable contributions
	Estate or Gift Tax purposes
	Marital or partnership dissolution
	Going Public
	To establish value for a loan collateral position
	Stock Options
	Litigation support in court
	Conversion to a Corporation

If you are looking at buying or selling a business, you can hire a professional business valuator and pay up to $5,000 or more to have him/her tell you what the business is worth. A second alternative would be just to take the opinion of value of a business broker, if one is involved in the transaction. If that broker was hired by the buyer, then as a seller you have to be very cautious as to taking the value they assign to the business. There may be other motives at work that could influence the value they provide.

A smarter option would be to purchase our Business Valuator Plus for $300 and invest less than 2-3 hours of your time and do your own valuation. At the very least, it would be an excellent idea to get an inexpensive confirmation of value that a broker or business appraiser might give as to the value of a particular business. Three different brokers or appraisers can give three different opinions of value on the same business depending upon the assumptions they use. Every business valuation has a subjective or arbitrary value the appraiser must use. You should do your own valuation if only to put the value they assign in the proper perspective.

This becomes even more important when you are looking at multiple companies to buy or if you need to revalue a certain business periodically. With a professional valuation you receive the value of just one business at one period in time for the cost. With Business Valuator Plus, you can determine the value of an infinite number of companies for the same price or revalue a business as many times as you like.

If you are a seller, you would also want to know that you are getting a fair price. Most business brokers usually will do a valuation for you, but it would always be nice to have a second opinion from an independent source. If you are selling the business without the aid of a broker, then this software can help provide a basis for your asking price and become one of your selling tools.

Below we offer a comparison of our Business Valuator Plus to other valuation software programs and to business brokers or professional business valuators.
