What is my business worth?
If you are a business owner considering selling your business, either in the short term or as part of a longer-term plan, the first step is to decide how much you want to get for it. Asking yourself "What is my business worth?" is not really going to help. Why? Because a business has many values.

Most business owners I meet want more freedom, less firefighting.
But here’s the truth — if the business depends on you, it can’t scale or sell without you.

Business buyer beware: I businesses for sale ads. It worries me when ads say "Strong turnover $12,000–$15,000 per week" and "Net Profit: Not disclosed". TURNOVER MEANS NOTHING. It's all about the LEFTOVER! The PROFIT. Be careful & check the numbers. CONTACT ME if you want help buying a business.
