Why Partner with The Liberty Group?

Begin With the End in Mind: In our experience, most business owners do not have a realistic view of the value of their business. Here is what we see:

  • The first time a business owner ever sees a formal valuation is when they are preparing for a sale. They are ready to retire.
  • When the pricing analysis comes back at a value (frequently far) lower than the business owner had anticipated, they’re backed into a corner. It’s too late to effect any changes that can move the needle.
  • However, because the Seller is ready to exit and retire, the business is listed for sale anyway, often at a value that the Seller wants or needs vs what a qualified buyer would realistically pay. We refer to this phenomenon as “Post and Pray (for a Bay Area buyer).”
  • The result is, predictably, a disappointing transaction. It falls short of it’s potential, it may fail to meet the retirement needs of the Seller, or worse, it fails to sell at all.

A business valuation, prepared LONG before your client is ready to exit, allows time to adjust the business, their retirement plans, or both.
