Matters of Importance to Business Owners

During nearly four decades of providing merger and acquisition advisory activity, two questions are frequently asked by owners of companies.  First, what is the current market-based valuation of my company?  Second, should I decide to sell, how long will the process take?  The answers are the following: (1) Valuations should be determined by professional advisors with knowledge of the industry, market and the client’s company.  (2) On average, it can take from as few as 3 months to as long as 18 months to complete a transaction.
