what’s it worth?

It depends on who’s asking – and for what purpose. At Synergy, we evaluate your business from a buyer’s perspective. We’ll make a diligent effort to understand both you and your business. We’ll help you establish realistic expectations – the foundation of which is always cash flow.

Cash flow is king, and buyers will most commonly view your business in terms of a pre-tax multiple. Synergy Business Services will evaluate your financial statements against a database of comparable businesses in your industry. The result is a market-based, realistic multiple of earnings... the very process a prospective buyer would employ. To calculate an accurate valuation, your Synergy advisor may ask for any of the following:

three years of income statements & balance sheets (& YTD)
three years of corporate tax returns
a fair market value of FF&E
a value of existing inventory at cost
a list of trade names, patents, or intellectual property of value
a list of other intangible assets of vlaue (contracts, domains, etc.)

It’s time. Synergy business valuations start at just $750 – making annual valuations a feasible tool for guaging “the right time” to sell any business.
