Considerations When Valuing a Business in Dayton, OH
Don't hire somebody who is a financial wizard to calculate your business valuation. When valuing a company, having knowledge of the market that exists during the time you're trying to sell is the best way to value a company. A spreadsheet guru may know how to build a killer financial model, but they won't have access to that kind of business comparables data. This advice on how to value a business comes from Domenic Rinaldi, managing partner of Sun Acquisitions, a leading business brokerage firm.
