Step 1 – Assess

Our Comprehensive Business Analysis Ensures an Objective Evaluation

Analyzing Your Business to Maximize its Potential

At our company, we kick-start the process by conducting a thorough examination of your business. We leave no stone unturned as we delve into various aspects, including financial data, key performance indicators (KPIs), your products or services, and your unique selling points (USPs) in comparison to your competitors. 

Furthermore, we engage in detailed discussions regarding your personal goals, employee expectations, visions for the future of your company, and more. Through these consultations, we gain a comprehensive understanding of your objectives, timing preferences, and the existing market conditions, all while evaluating your preparedness for a potential sale.

From the very beginning, we prioritize understanding your business inside out. This in-depth comprehension empowers us to present your company in the most favorable light possible. With our profound knowledge of buyer psychology, we also help you anticipate how different groups of buyers are likely to perceive your business.

Normalized Financials: Presenting Accurate Business Value

Highlighting Cash Flow and Income Potential through Financial Adjustments

The Importance of Normalizing Financial Statements

When selling your business, it becomes necessary to “normalize” or “recast” your financial statements to accurately assess its value. Business owners often deduct personal expenses through their business, which can potentially lower the net income reflected in their financial statements. By precisely identifying these additional “perks” and making appropriate adjustments, you can demonstrate to potential buyers the actual cash flow and income potential of your business.

Ensuring Accuracy and Precision

At our company, we handle the normalization of your financial statements with utmost care and diligence. We meticulously review your business’s earnings and make a series of adjustments to your profit and loss statements. This process allows us to calculate your Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA).
