Tips for Working with A Business Broker

Brokerage is a mainstay of the business-for-sale marketplace.

However, your broker will still expect you to materially participate in the sale of your business.

Valuation Methods

Professional appraisers can use three methods to determine the value ofa commercial and industrial garbage disposal business: The income method, the asset method and the market method. 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.

Sellers should take note of the fact that all three valuation methods reward businesses that takes steps to increase assets and income.
