Boston business valuation firm

Boston business valuation firm is a classic subjective/objective evaluation problem. Many valuation firms take a subjective approach as they struggle to understand businesses that may or may not have close comparables. Other firms strictly examine financials and make projections to estimate a firm’s value without respect to the business environment and the firm’s true potential. Minimax understands that most businesses are complex arrangements and have both subjective and objective elements that create value. By using our proprietary MiniVal program, we are capable of achieving valuations that are more robust and detailed than our competitors.

Business brokers provide accurate value of the business. They advertise your business for sale and handle all initial discussions with the buyers and also help the sellers to sell their business at good prices. They attract buyers in different ways. They advertise for your business on their websites and manage space in business newspapers and magazines.

Business brokers are very much confident with their work. They work on the behalf of sellers and sometimes suggest them about how to get more profit from business assets. Buyers can also get benefits of business brokers by telling their requirements. They only charge some commission for every transaction. Usually they get charge commission from both buyers as well as sellers.

While thinking about business brokers, very first question that comes in mind, how to choose a right business broker?

There are not specific qualifications of business brokers but the person or firm, that you’re going to hire for your business transactions, should be reliable, knowledgeable, experienced, planned and friendly with you. You should call two or more business brokers for interview and then choose the best among them. You should check whether the broker has great knowledge about the business or not. Just check out their brokerage skill. Always choose a reputable brokerage firm for your business activities.

This is the preferred method of valuing a business by the Institute of Business Appraisers, which developed the method, and the International Business Brokers Association.

Offer an independent third party valuation for a fee. If we market your business, the fee is deducted from the commission due upon the sale.

Market the sell abusiness widely. We market your business to the widest potential buyer market. Today, the Internet is the primary way that buyers find businesses to buy. We market your business on the top “business for sale” websites. We list your business on our website which has been optimized to come up high on buyer searches. We also use paid search engine advertising to reach potential buyers. We maintain a database of potential buyers and market your business to the buyers that we know. We contact potential business buyers in your market and potential strategic buyers. We co-broker with other brokers located in New England. The widest marketing results in more potential buyers and a quicker sale at a higher price.

Prepare a superior Confidential Business Profile. Most business brokers prepare a one or two page Confidential Business Profile for potential buyers. Ours average about 12 pages. We include complete information about your business and the industry you are in and the demographics of the area you are located. We add the sizzle to the steak. This puts your business in the most favorable light to a potential buyer.

Third-party financing. We help buyers get independent financing so you do not have to finance the sale. This is a win for the buyer and the seller. Typical buyer financing is 3 to 5 years with 40% to 50% down. SBA financing is a 10 year loan, 20 years with real estate, with 15% to 20% down. When we have an SBA lender pre-qualify your business, we can advertise it with a 20% down payment. The lower down payment will attract more potential buyers.

Help you receive a higher price and close the deal more quickly. We are trained and experienced in negotiating business sales. We are experienced in what must be done to close the sale and are as actively involved with this part of the process as the parties’ desire.
