What happens after you request a valuation
- I review your request myself, usually within one business day.
- We have a short, confidential conversation about your business, your goals, and your timing.
- I ask for basic financials, typically recent tax returns and profit and loss statements, so the number reflects your actual results.
- You get my written opinion of value and the main things driving it up or down, including what would raise it before a sale.
- You decide what happens next. There is no cost and no obligation to sell.
Frequently asked questions
Is the valuation really free?
Yes. There is no cost and no obligation. Many owners use it to plan ahead, even if a sale is years away.
Will anyone find out I am thinking about selling?
No. Your information stays confidential and is never sold or shared for marketing. Confidentiality is the first rule of every engagement I take on.
How is this different from an online calculator?
My free valuation calculator gives a quick automated range. A broker valuation looks at your actual financials, owner add-backs, lease, staff, and customer mix, which is what buyers and lenders will look at too.
What drives the value of a Florida business?
Mostly the reliability of your earnings: clean books, recurring revenue, a team that can run without you, and no single customer carrying the business. My Florida owner’s guide to business valuation explains each factor.
