If you’re thinking about selling your business — now or in the future — preparation is key. Whether you’re retiring, relocating, or simply ready for your next chapter, getting your business in top shape before listing it can have a huge impact on your final sale price and how smoothly the deal closes.

​

There are several compelling reasons to get a business valuation now rather than waiting until you’re ready to sell:

​

• Know Where You Stand Financially — ​Most owners don’t know their business’s value—it may be higher than you think. A valuation gives a realistic picture of what your business is worth today.

 

• ​Identify Ways to Increase Value Before Selling​​​​—A good valuation report shows what drives value in your specific industry. You'll see what possible changes could substantially boost your selling price.

​​

• Prepare for Unexpected Opportunities​​—If a competitor or investor approaches, you'll be ready to talk numbers. Being prepared means they don’t have to make rushed, emotional decisions.

​

• Strengthen Retirement & Exit Planning​​​​—A valuation helps you to plan for retirement, taxes, & investments. It can reveal whether you’re truly on track for your post-sale lifestyle.

​​

• Benchmark Performance Against the Market​​​​​—Compare your business’s size, revenue, and profit to industry peers. It’s a way to measure progress and set realistic growth targets.

​​

• Protect Your Legacy​​​​​​​—If the unexpected happens, Your family knows the business’s true value. It also helps you avoid a fire sale where your business sells for far less than it’s worth.

​​

The bottom line: A valuation isn’t just needed when you’re ready to sell — it’s the foundation for building value, protecting your legacy, and being ready for any opportunity that comes your way. With a confidential, no-obligation valuation from an experienced Phoenix business broker, you get the facts you need today and the flexibility to decide your next step when the timing is right.
