Juggling Instruction Business

Too often juggling instruction business owners fail to receive fair market value for their businesses. With the right strategy, your sale doesn't have to end that way.

Valuation Methods

The methods for valuing a juggling instruction business vary according to your business model and circumstances. However, there are generally three valuation methods appraisers use to determine your company's worth. While the income method uses anticipated revenues as a value basis, the asset method focuses on the company's capital, real estate and intellectual assets. In many sales, the most accurate valuation comes from the market method which determines value based on the recent sales of similar businesses. All three methods have multiple variations and it's not uncommon for appraisers to use a combination of the three to determine the value of your business. Sellers should take note of the fact that all three valuation methods reward businesses that takes steps to increase assets and income.

The Emotions of a Business Sale
