Thinking of selling? If you list your business for sale with Vision Fox within 12 months of your valuation, we credit your valuation fee toward the commission (where Vision Fox provides brokerage).
Vision Fox valuations are led by Mike Steward, founder of Vision Fox Business Advisors. Mike has personally started, bought, sold, and franchised businesses, and brings more than 20 years of that experience to every valuation.
Mike believes every business will eventually be sold, passed down, or closed. The point of a valuation is to make sure that happens on your terms, with enough time to raise the value first.
Mike is a straight shooter who objectively provides creative and relevant tactics to improve business operations and sales. His breadth of experience as a business broker provides valuable insight into strategic moves to improve the overall valuation of my company.
Mike did a great job in procuring a buyer for the sale of our business even in the tough times of Covid. Mike was able to make the business sale contract seamless and was able to recommend a lawyer that was able to complete the transfers of all business assets in a timely manner.
I started using Mike as my business coach a couple years back. It’s been a wonderful experience. He is truly a knowledgeable person with great business tools to get you to the next level. I highly recommend him to all of my business friends.
Our fixed-price packages are Essential at $995, Comprehensive at $1,695, and Growth at $1,995. A Certified Business Valuation, used for partnership disputes, divorce, and IRS matters, is always custom-priced based on the situation.
Your report is delivered 7–12 business days after we receive the financial information we need. The biggest variable is how quickly the documents come together, which is why Comprehensive and Growth include help gathering them.
Three years of financial statements. We use them to calculate a market-based valuation by benchmarking your business against others in your industry. If you are not sure what to send, the Comprehensive and Growth packages include white-glove help with documents and direct collaboration with your CPA.
Fair market value is what a willing buyer would reasonably pay a willing seller for the business as a going concern. Liquidation value is roughly what the business’s assets would bring if it closed and the assets were sold off. Every report includes both, so you can see the value the business adds as an operating company.
A detailed report, typically 20–30 pages: your business valued four ways (equity, asset, enterprise and liquidation value) with the multiples behind each; the gap to your exit goal; industry benchmark multiples from private-company sales; three years of financial trends; eight financial ratios compared with your industry, each with steps to improve; the effect of minority-interest discounts; and plain-language explanations of how valuation works.
