We start with your books and rebuild the earnings from the bottom, documenting each add back with something a stranger would accept. Then we price the company against deals that actually closed in your part of the market.
Then we look at how much of the company depends on you personally, and how much depends on any one customer or one employee. Those two things move the price more than the earnings do.
Plenty of these end with us telling an owner to go and sell now. That is the smaller job for us, and we say it anyway.
Whatever you do next, it runs month to month. A brokerage ties you in for a year and then has every reason to wait you out. We were paid to value the company properly, so we do not need to lock anybody in to make the year work.
