Salability Assessment
Have you ever wondered if your company was worth selling? We combine data-driven insights, decades of experience, and an extensive network of partners and industry professionals to help you understand your unique position.
A Salability Assessment is a good fit for business owners who frequently wonder:
If I sold my business today, what would it be worth?
Should I be doing something differently to grow faster?
If I sell, how do I make sure my employees and customers are taken care of?
What should I change today to make my business more valuable in the future?
If I wanted to sell, are there any hidden issues that could kill a deal at the last minute?
My legacy matters to me – how do I make sure that a new owner will take good care of what I have built?
Even if I don't plan on selling today, what should I do to prepare incase I change my mind later?
Can I change things right now to pay lower taxes if I sell my business in the future?
