Business Valuation
We believe every business owner should know what their businesses are worth. You probably know how much equity you’ve built in your primary home, but your business is most likely worth quite a lot more. We’ll initially provide a complementary valuation that will outline your current range of value based on a careful analysis of your company’s historical and year-to-date financial data, current and thoroughly researched comparable industry sales, & commonly held industry standard metrics which influence business value (including but not limited to) infrastructure and org chart strength, customer concentration, owner role, and growth potential.
What is Business Valuation:
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is the most critical component of a business sale and we treat it that way at S&P Capital Partners. We know the value your team, customer base, reputation, goodwill, and historical performance create to make your company an industry authority. We manage all transaction aspects, especially the valuation process, with the strongest confidentiality.
Financial Analysis
It’s a baseline from which all other opportunity develops. We provide detailed metrics based on your empirical data, recent comparable sales, and a series of industry metrics defined by folks in your trade. In addition, we’ll work with you to develop a “range of value,” along with proper forecasting, determining critical metrics for growth, and identifying any missing key business components.
Valuation Strategies
Business valuation consists of multiple variables within an excess of variances. Our analytics team will develop your business’ range of value based on a careful analysis of your company’s historical and year-to-date financial data, current and thoroughly researched comparable industry sales, and a series of standardized industry metrics.
Reporting and Documentation
Business owners receive a detailed valuation book complete with our valuation methodologies explained, a breakdown of current industry trends & risks, an industry forecast and financial insight analysis, along with a concise range of value based on our analysis, accompanied by a series of potential next steps for the business owner to review internally.

Business Appraisal for M&A
Once we’ve established an acceptable range of value and discussed potential deal structures, we work to create a controlled environment where we engage multiple targeted buyer prospects simultaneously while offering some of our listings via “Market Value” pricing.
We want to bring a carefully curated list of qualified buyer prospects to the conversation early. We never stop negotiating on your behalf. From the initial buyer prospect conversations to LOI analysis, to due diligence coordination, to legal documentation, to closing, we never stop working to generate the most positive result possible for you and your shareholders. We can get your business closed.
Financial Planning
We’ve seen it happen many times. We complete a business valuation for a company, review our findings, and provide numerous options and solutions for continued business growth. We update the business valuation 3 to 6 months later and financial reporting has vastly improved. Why? We helped establish a baseline understanding of the business value and the business owner immediately began tracking previously underreported critical performance metrics S&P Capital recognized during the valuation process.
Immediate Progress & Business Development
By focusing on specific metrics and methods to generate business growth, businesses can improve process efficiencies, increase client loyalty, gain new market customers, create intense focus on target markets, identify the business’ value proposition, build and improve team member production, and regularly measure and optimize business performance.
If you’re not measuring profitability, reviewing inventory analyses, or mapping forecast vs actual performance, the business may not ever maximize growth potential. With our experience and operational savvy, we can help determine which core business practices are boosting output and which departments need attention.
Why Choose S&P
Market Knowledge
We’ve worked with businesses at every stage of the business life cycle and understand that each business’ needs are unique and specific. Individual markets can create specific metrics that can significantly impact business valuation. Two businesses with the same valuation metrics and financial data can generate different value ranges and can ultimately sell for different values in different geographic regions.
Industry Knowledge
Real world deal experience. The only way to learn the M&A game is to play it and we’ve spent the last 25+ years incrementally improving our processes and establishing efficiency standards while working on hundreds of sell side transactions in just about every industry.
Client-Centric Approach
We’re not a good fit for everyone and everyone isn’t a good fit for us. We’ll work immediately to determine if we’re a good fit for your company. If there’s a better option, we’ll tell you who they are. We want to make sure that everyone is on the same page, sharing the same story, having the same conversations, and are prepared for every transaction stage.
Proven Results
Once we’ve established an acceptable range of value and discussed potential deal structures, we work to create a controlled environment where we engage multiple targeted buyer prospects simultaneously while offering some of our listings via “Market Value” pricing. We want to bring a carefully curated list of qualified buyer prospects to the conversation early. We never stop negotiating on your behalf.
Selling a business is stressful under the best of conditions and the way you managed the process kept my stress low. You handled delicate situations with grace and made the whole process occur far quicker than I had ever imagined.
