How Much Is Your Business Worth? 

If this is a question you cannot accurately answer with confidence, you should consider our Business Valuation Service. Whether contemplating selling your business or just wanting to find out your current value so you can prepare for the future, we can help. The associates of Sunbelt Indiana Business Resource have appraised and subsequently sold over 1,000 businesses from small "Mom & Pop" operations to multi-million companies. SIBR is the only business brokerage firm in Indiana who has an associate on staff who has earned the professional certification by the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts.  With substantial appraisal experience, he provides valuable guidance to SIBR’s associates in the preparation of business appraisals.

In today's advantageous market, many business owners do not receive the best value when they sell a business - most often because they do not truly know their company's value. For that reason, the valuation process is a true asset to the business owner and a thorough, professionally prepared valuation will assist him or her in:

• Helping identify the key value drivers, major strengths, and more importantly, the major weaknesses of a company allowing the owner to solve both obvious and hidden problems prior to selling a business.

• Determining a reasonable selling price. Many owners rely on general rules of thumb, casual advice from friends or other similarly unreliable sources. Values determined by general multiples or rules of thumb may be too high or too low. If the owner's expectation of value is too high, it will prolong the selling process until a price concession is made. If the price is too low, money is left on the table. Unless the business owner goes through the valuation process, he or she just will not know if the business is priced at market value.

• Fully understanding the value of the business will assist during negotiations. In this market, one can expect buyers to be sophisticated and experienced. They will conduct a rigorous analysis of the company, even if the seller has not. They will look at those factors and value drivers that the owner and his advisors should consider in valuing the company, and they will use that information against the seller in negotiations.
