Consumer & local businesses
Business sale & value guides.
Unit economics, leases, staff, and the handover to a new owner.
WHAT TO ORGANIZE FIRST
Bring the important
details into focus.
- Reconcile sales with financial records and operating evidence.
- Review the lease, occupancy costs, and landlord consent.
- Identify staff, supplier arrangements, and customer relationships that can transfer.
Connect your research to your own numbers.
Use a documented earnings reconciliation and explicit assumptions. Public industry ranges are not a valuation of your specific business.
