Paul & Associates Real Estate Services, Inc. helps sellers achieve the highest and best possible price for their business while taking the least amount of time.

When contemplating a sale, valuation is the number one question of our sellers, and a main concern of buyers when purchasing a company. Unfortunately, there is not an easy answer. Why? Because business valuations are subject to the appraiser's judgment, skill, and quality of methodology. 

There are several standards of value for businesses, including: 

• Fair market value - The price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller when the former is not under any compulsion to buy and the latter is not under any compulsion to sell, both parties having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.
• Intrinsic value - Stock values that investors would consider.
• Fair value - Legal standards to value. Often used in divorce.
• Investment value or strategic value - The value to specific buyers. Could exceed fair market value.

Buying a business is one of the biggest life decisions you will ever have to make. It can be a long and laborious process, or it can be a relatively simple transaction if you do your research, get the right advice, and cover all the basics. Many questions may arise during the buying process. If you are thinking of buying a business, contact Paul & Associates Real Estate Services, Inc., and we will explain in detail any portion of this process. We will set you on the path to successfully purchasing and owning your own business.
