MAXIMIZING BUSINESS VALUE
(our other services are listed to the left)

There are many variables which impact the amount a business owner can obtain for his or her business. Fortunately, many of these variables can be controlled by the business owner. By thoroughly analyzing your business operation, Performance can develop a step-by-step plan that will help you obtain the highest possible price for your business when you’re ready to sell.

Business buyers are especially interested in businesses with good growth potential and increased future profitability and will pay more to obtain them.. A thorough current business plan is essential to demonstrate this growth potential to buyers. Performance can help you create or update your business plan using the latest business planning tools. Our plans follow SBA guidelines and can be used by your potential buyer to obtain financing for your business.

Pre-sales Consulting It is never too early to begin planning for the eventual sale of your business. We typically recommend that business owners begin planning a sale at least 1 – 3 years before they actually want to sell their business. Often, this amount of time is necessary to implement changes that will ultimately increase the value of the business. Performance can fully analyze your business operation and develop a step-by-step plan to help you obtain the highest possible price when you’re ready to sell. In the planning process, business owners should be aware that it typically takes at least 8 – 12 months or longer to sell a privately held business.
