Selling your business is a very important and often emotional decision. After years (and sometimes a lifetime) of hard work building your business, you have decided to move on. You may be ready for your next business venture, or it may be time to enjoy your well-earned retirement.
We understand this is a major decision and that you need the best possible return for your business so you can enjoy the next stage of your life. We also know that you will have many questions:
Is my business saleable?
How much is my business really worth?
How long will my business take to sell?

If you are interested in selling your business, you will need to have a clear idea of what it is worth.
There are two main ways to work out the value of a business: a business appraisal or a business valuation.
A business appraisal is a short and clear assessment of your business's value. An appraisal provides you with a value based on actual business performance and risks, and compares your business with other similar businesses.
For most people who are interested in selling their business, a business appraisal is all that's needed. Once you have supplied the information we need, it only takes a few days to complete.
Our business appraisals are provided in absolute confidence. You can purchase a business appraisal from Raine & Horne Business Sales whether or not we are acting as your agent.
A business or share valuation will give the same result as an appraisal, but a valuation provides all the details. It is a much longer and more complex document that is usually needed for legal reasons. Most people who are selling their business don't need a full valuation.

Goodwill is the value of a business over and above the value of the assets — it includes the name, structure, staff, brand recognition, customer base and more.
Most of the businesses we sell include an important goodwill component. It's helpful for both buyers and sellers to understand how goodwill is calculated.
The value of your business is determined by two important measures: risk and return.
