Raleigh Business Brokers | Transworld Business Advisors

Transworld Business Advisors does NOT charge an upfront fee. We are paid a commission once we successfully sell your business.

There are typically three methods used when valuing a business: Asset Approach, Market Approach and Income Approach. Of these three methods the most used method is the Income Approach. Why is this? Most business buyers have one driving question they want answered, "If I purchase this business, what will my income be?"

Typically, we receive three years of business tax returns as well as three years of Profit & Loss Statements. These are the most important financials because these are the numbers that potential buyers will want to see during due diligence.

There is no charge for business owners that are seriously considering selling their business.

Once a business owner accepts a buyer’s letter of intent (LOI) to acquire their business, the buyer gets the opportunity to perform due diligence. The offer to purchase a business is contingent on the successful completion due diligence. The buyer is looking to verify financials many times with the help of their accountants. Recast numbers are verified typically with three years of P&L's and business tax returns. Additionally, communications between buyer and owner are opened for further verification.
