Never been through a valuation before? This step-by-step guide explains what happens when you request an EOV or BAMA, what information you’ll provide, how we analyze your business, and what you’ll walk away with.
Most owners track revenue and profit, but still guess what their business is worth. This guide explains how market value is actually determined, what drives multiples, and when an EOV (business valuation) or BAMA (valuation + benchmarking + action steps) is the smartest next move.
Owners typically choose between cheap automated valuation tools and expensive certified appraisals. This article explains where DealCoach fits, how our EOV and BAMA approach valuation differently, and why clarity beats guesswork when your business is your largest asset.
Most business owners carry a number in their head about what their company is worth, but many have never tested it against the market. That’s risky, especially when an unsolicited offer shows up and you’re negotiating off the buyer’s number. This article explains why an independent Estimate of Value (EOV) gives you a clear value anchor today, and how a Business and Market Analysis (BAMA) helps you build a roadmap to increase value before you sell.
Learn why accepting an unsolicited offer without an independent valuation could cost you millions. Discover how DealCoach's valuation services and Cornerstone's POMO™ process helped one company achieve a 97% premium over their initial offer.
If you're thinking about selling your business, understanding how buyers will value it is critical. For businesses under $2M, buyers typically focus on Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE). For larger businesses, EBITDA takes center stage. This guide breaks down the data from Q2 2025 to show you exactly when each metric is used and what it means for your sale price.
Valuing a business is a crucial aspect of understanding its worth in the market. There are various methods employed by analysts and investors to determine the value of a business, each with its own advantages and limitations. Below are a few commonly used methods:
For business owners, buy-sell agreements are important tools for ensuring a smooth transition of ownership in cases such as death, disability, or retirement. These agreements set the terms for how an owner’s shares or interest in the company will be bought or sold—i.e., who has the right to buy and at what price.
As the year winds down, there’s a gift every business owner should consider—a current valuation of your business. While holiday lists often include items like client gifts or end-of-year celebrations, knowing the true value of your business is a gift that keeps on giving. Here’s why it matters now more than ever.
A significant number of business owners do not know how much their business is worth. That can be a source of conflict in the face of unfortunate events such as a divorce or a partnership separation. But it can be even more painful when the business owner plans to retire, only to find out the business isn’t worth as much as they expected.
