Selling a Business? Before putting your business on the market, isn't it worth finding out what it's really worth so you can get the best price?

Buying a Business?
Before you invest heavily in a new business, isn't it worth protecting your investment by finding out what it's really worth?

Don't let the cost of obtaining a business appraisal lead you to be "penny wise" and "pound foolish." Now, with the Internet and modern information technology, the business appraisal and valuation experts can supply you with a reliable business appraisal at low cost that includes our guaranteed 7 day completion.

Whether buying or selling a business, an appraisal or "valuation" is the critical first step for getting the best price for your business (if you're selling a business) or the maximum value for your money (if you're buying a business).

An appraisal systematically examines any business revealing the fair market value to both buyers and sellers. As a result, you'll be able to...

SELL WITH CONFIDENCE
If you're looking to sell or liquidate your business, getting the maximum dollar amount involves three things: a defensible price, complete information about the business, and credibility. If the business is profitable it will likely have substantial intangible value, which is included in our Business Valuations. Potential buyers expect validated proof supporting your asking price, so being equipped with a business appraisal from a qualified business valuation expert can help you get the best possible price.

ACQUIRE WITH CONFIDENCE
If your goal is to acquire a business, you may find it difficult or (even impossible) to find complete and understandable information to make a confident and smart buying decision. We know you've been frustrated with the difficulty of getting definitive information you need about the business you may be interested in. Don't be forced to rely on the seller's broker for their valuation. This can be both risky and expensive. When buying a business, a valuation provides you with a reliable basis for developing your offer so you'll be confident you're making a smart buying decision.

There simply is no substitute for a qualified an un-biased third-party opinion as to the realistic fair-market value. At LGI Business Brokers, we specialize in providing surprisingly affordable, quality business appraisals that help small to medium-sized businesses deal with confidence.

Here are the benefits of our Business Appraisals and Valuations...

If Selling - Get Best Price For Your Business -Pprotect yourself by having our certified business appraisers conduct an evaluation first. With a business appraisal, you'll be armed with the knowledge and documents you need to get the best price for your business. In fact, a qualified business appraisal will help you re-cast your financial statements to reflect the true net operating income of your business, which is the basis for your value. We'll work with you to make sure we've considered everything that will add to the value of your business to get you the best price.

If Buying - Get Best Value For Your Dollar – Avoid costly mistakes that you may regret later. If you pay substantially more than it's worth, you will severely limit your ability to sell and recover your investment. Our appraisals are based upon actual market transactions for similar businesses. You can then decide whether to offer a premium price, or not.

A Convenient Time Saver
- Save time, money, and wasted effort by getting the business appraised correctly by the professionals.
