Over-valuing the business results in a stagnant listing. Buyers pass by your listing in favor of an option with higher-perceived ROI. Under-valuing results in a sale that leaves you with less money than you deserve. Therefore, it’s important to have a valuation completed by a professional. Working with a business intermediary, such as the ones at CBI TEAM, ensures the valuation is accurate and timely. In addition to valuations, these intermediaries work on your behalf to secure qualified buyers.
