Selling a Business
Selling your business is the most important decision you will make in your life and in some cases a once in a lifetime event. We offer complete advisory and brokerage services performed in a strictly confidential manner. If you are thinking of selling, give us a call and go to the Seller section in this website to educate yourself on the process.
Market Price/Comparables Survey
How much is your business worth? For companies under $500,000 in value, Carrara can do a market price/comparables survey. Our firm has access to comparative data of businesses listed for sale in a wide range of industries. We can provide you with a price range based on current market conditions and rules of thumb after we analyzed and recast your financial statements. This is not a substitute for a 3rd party valuation. Performing a market price/comparables survey will assist in setting your expectations for the business.
Pricing a Business
Getting the highest price that the market will bring is important to anyone selling their business. We can’t tell you what that price will be in the end, but we can give you some guidelines on how to set a price, terms and other conditions. We can also advise you on how to prepare your business for sale to maximize its value to a potential buyer.
Consulting Services
The decision to sell one’s business is a serious step. We can advise you about current market conditions, pricing and structuring the business so it will sell. We can also assist in getting the business ready for sale and answer any other questions you might have.
We also provide a full array of consulting services to those businesses who may not be ready for sale at this moment of time (perhaps in 2-3 years) or want to improve and position the business for long term profitability. We solve your problems and produce results. We implement strategies and tactics to improve your bottom line. We are different in that we do not charge by the hour. We provide a firm quote based upon the project or service requested.
