Why sellers choose Valuetising
Fair Valuations
Building a business requires enormous amount of time, money, and hard work. We consider profit calculations (EBITDA) and valuables intangibles (like an email list) to create a fair offer based on concrete numbers, industry data and business performance.
Speed & Professionalism
Time kills all deals. We use a 3-step process to ensure your time is not wasted during the selling process.
Flexibility
We understand that no business is perfect, and that special circumstances (like retirement, burnout, financial strains, and partnership issues) may be prompting you to sell your business. We can find creative solutions for those situations.
Legacy-Focused
We look for deals that create continuity for shareholders, customers, team members and communities. This means key employees stay, clients are taken care of, and your brand reputation continues growing after you.
We go from discovery call to closing in weeks, not months.
Here's our 3-step process:
Phase 1: Discovery
During the first phase, we get to know you and your business. This is an unscripted call where both parties explore if there's a potential fit.
Phase 2: Valuation
The second phase entails an overview of your business financials and valuation. If you get to this phase, you will get a business valuation that, whether or not we end up agreeing on terms, will be valuable to raise funds, negotiate with buyers, and plan your exit.
Phase 3: Offer
Once we understand your business and determine a fair valuation for it, the final phase is to present you with an offer. This can consist of an acquisition, a partnership, or a combination of both.
When the business is not ready for sell, we also partner for growth.
Our Value Acceleration Formula maximizes your cash flow while turning your business into a valuable, sellable enterprise (that can run and scale without you).
We partner to achieve two things:
1) Acquire customers predictably and at scale
2) Turn your business into a valuable, sellable asset that can run & scale without you
We come in as partners, with an equity position and rubbing shoulders to take the business to the next level. No more having to do it all by yourself: We bring our client acquisition strategies, growth systems, and a network of investors, CFOs, staffing agencies, mentors, and more.
So whether you're looking to be acquired, you need an investor or a growth partner, we'd love to meet you and explore if we're a fit.

According to Forbes, 90% of businesses never sell.
Investment bankers won't touch businesses under $20M/year. And business brokers have a reputation for selling only 10% of their listings (Source).
We fill that gap. Most sellers are unaware of the possibilities to finance the sale and reach a successful transaction
.
While rare deals consist of an upfront cash offer, most transactions are creative with down payments, seller financing, earn-in’s, earn-out’s, revenue sharing, or equity agreements. Deal financing happens on a case by case basis, and the seller can benefit not just once but on an ongoing basis.
Our top priority is creating a fair transaction that benefits all parties. Contact us today if you would like to explore this.
