intechspecial,

To estimate its worth, I would need to know a lot of financial details about your business. I assume you don't want to post that. If you contact me privately I'll try to help.

My companies website has already been valued. I am interested if you are able to estimate my companies worth.

I already have some base figures, and would like a professionals opinion to see if I am correct.

I will look into your site at a later time.

intechspecial,

A business's value is evaluated by buyers as an investment. The buyer can use the money to buy a CD, or some stock, or government bonds or your business. How much of a return will the buyer receive from your business for the investment and what are the risks that this return will continue? These are the key questions.

I believe the best buyers for a business are "strategic" buyers. Businesses that have a synergy with yours. Their return will be higher and they perceive the risks as lower than buyers from outside your area/industry. I develop a marketing campaign that approaches such buyers, keeping my client's identity secret until they've sign a non-disclosure agreement

My web site may offer some more insights.

Best wishes,

Triumph Associates is not a traditional business brokerage. We are consultants that work exclusively with sellers to guide and coach them through the process. One aspect of our services is to develop and implement a marketing plan that identifies and approaches prospective buyers. Unfortunately we don't have a stable of buyers looking for businesses.

Best of luck with your situation.

It so happens I was also searching for the appropriate thread/forum for this subject. I own an internet business that sells candlemaking supplies to small home crafters and business owners. I run my company out of an 8100 sq. ft. warehouse that I own located in southern Ohio. Unfortunately, most of my inventory is petroleum based (waxes, fragrance oils, glass products) and costs have sky-rocketed. I have been trying to sell the property for over a year with no serious buyers, and have reduced the price. I need to get out from under this property and operate on a smaller scale in another location.

Any legitimate interest/leads would be appreciated, I will provide details about property upon request privately. New industry is relocating to my area, but time is of the essence in my situation.

It was difficult to decide which forum to post my introductory message. Most forums don't have a topic for valuing and selling businesses but it's a subject that every business owner thinks about and most confront at least once. My firm has been helping owners with these issues for 30 years, but we're new to the web. I hope you'll visit our site to learn more.

By way of introduction, if anyone has a question in this area, I will be happy to try and answer it.
