There is no substitute for a qualified appraisal in the sale of your carpet, rug, and upholstery dyers business. Armed with a professional appraisal, both you and your broker can enter the negotiation stage with confidence.

Your appraisal should occur before you put your business on the market. A professional appraisal is a necessity because it gives you the information you need to negotiate a sale price. During your appraisal process, you should also note the condition of your assets. Cost-effective repairs can then be made before your list your carpet, rug, and upholstery dyers business.
