Step2:
Meet With a Professional Advisor

Be smart! You should meet with an accredited NCABB business broker prior to committing yourself to sell. Your goal is to maximize the sale of your business without disrupting current operations and managment.

Professional business brokers of the NCABB network follow a tested, market-proven methodology used nationwide to properly prepare and present your business for sale. This includes:

• meeting for the first time to discuss your objectives and review our methodology and credentials
  
  
• inviting you to complete an owner's profile with our assistance, which includes the company history, financial and market position
  
  
• recasting the business owner's financial statements to account for discretionary income and depreciated assets
  
  
• explaining the use of a third-party business valuation to determine the true economic and market value of the business based on owner's profile and recasted financial statements (explained under step 3)
  
  
• preparing a confidential memorandum that presents in a summarized, professional format all of the information the buyer needs to make an informed decision
  
  
• posting a generic profile of the business on national business broker networks — information that can be accessed by our collective network of 1500+ brokers and thousands of buyers from coast-to-coast
  
  
• designing the overall marketing and sales strategy for targeting and finding qualified buyers
  

Our initial first meeting will last a little more than 1 hour. The owner is under no obligation. You may continue on with the process or wait a season. It's up to you. But let's get started.

With that said, what is the market value of your company?
