Valuation
Before you begin discussions, review current valuation data for public companies and recent transactions.  Private company valuations are always discounted from the median public comps, but this data is a good place to start determining a range for your valuation.

Meeting Preparation & Presentation Template
For your first meeting, use our presentation template to convey your business value to the buyer.  Before you send the presentation, learn as much as you can about any buyer-specific areas of interest that match up well with your business.  You will want to highlight these in your presentation to increase the buyer's interest in your company as a potential target.  Contact Us to receive the presentation template for registered Sellers.
