You are interested in buying a business. But there are thousands of businesses for sale across the US to choose every day. Where do you start? What’s the “first step”? There are many business consultants and analysts that can help. But most are focused on helping you move through the purchase process of a single business, since the reality is that you would have already decided on a business to buy. Analysis of just ONE business transaction could take many weeks. If the result of that detailed analysis is unfavorable, you rightly decide not to make the purchase. So, you have avoided making a huge mistake. The problem is, you have spent a significant amount of time and money to get to a dead end, and then need to restart your search. You could end up repeating this process several times before finally finding the right business. If you knew a business did not look attractive at the beginning of your search, you could have avoided the costs of pursuing it. That’s why we believe a highly critical part of buying a business is at the very beginning of the process.

For the Buyer
The Problem
So, what IS the first step in the process of buying a business?
Is there a data-driven way to get an early and comprehensive view of how a business purchase would impact you BEFORE involving banks, consultants, and accountants, AND getting that information quickly, AND at low cost?
The Solution
Whether you are looking at a particular industry, or more broadly, are interested in any business that returns the greatest value to you, Profit Evaluator specializes in focusing buyers into the right business quickly and inexpensively. Our unique evaluation is designed to help any business buyer, from the first-time buyer to the seasoned acquisition professional. We know that you are ultimately more interested in what the bottom line looks like AFTER you acquire the business and have run it for a period of time.
Getting a more comprehensive view of the financial picture EARLY in the process is critical, saving you time and money.
Profit Evaluator provides that initial full-view guidance QUICKLY, to help you narrow down your choices of a business to buy. We provide experienced, data-driven business valuations (assessing the fair market value for a business). But we also combine that with financing impacts and what operational requirements are necessary to keep the business successful. As noted earlier, those results are normally produced much later in the business buying process, and that is just for ONE business. Profit Evaluator is able to “fast-forward” those critical results to the beginning of the search process.
