Synopsis

Selling your business? Ask too much and you may scare away potential buyers. Even worse is undervaluing your business and giving away part of what you worked hard to create. Pitching to potential investors? Knowing how much a business is worth can make the difference between closing a deal or not closing one. Buying a small business? Don't overpay and risk being short of funds to run it or being unable to sell it for a profit in the future. Not yet ready to sell? It's never too early to plan for it. Strategies to increase the value of your business can take time to put in place. Learn how small businesses are valued through the stories of three entrepreneurs with three different businesses in this easy-to-read guide. (Canadian context.)
