Alternatively, many businesses can be priced with a Professional Broekr Opinion of Value.
Ultimately, the right approach will depend on the size and complexity of the business, the type of business, and the inteded buyers of the business (i.e. individual investor vs. synergistic buyer)
The imoact of improperly pricing a business can manifest a number of ways and at different points in the transaction.
