What's Your Business Worth?

While there are many areas that a buyer will evaluate, cash flow and risk are two important factors in buying a business. Other factors include market stability, on going economic situations and location of the business.

A buyer typically purchases a business for either future income or to consolidate a certain market. Financials can be presented in many ways, typically either as Free Cash Flow, EBIT, EBITDA, Enterprise Value or a hybrid Enterprise Value. EBIT is the most common basis for establishing a selling price.

All businesses come with a degree of risk. Risk may be present in customer concentration, reliance on vendor relationships, macro economic trends, competitive forces, key employees, legal exposures and more.
