Florida's M&A Advisor and Business Broker
Business valuation involves more moving parts than most owners expect. Our Principal and Founder, Richard Zarzecki, will personally guide you through the process with a level of financial expertise and hands-on experience that most brokers simply cannot match.
Richard is a former CPA with 20+ years of accounting experience, a former business owner, M&A advisor and a licensed Florida business broker with 25+ years of transaction experience.
Richard reviews the last three to four years of tax returns, P&L statements and balance sheets. He also looks at the current and prior year on a month-by-month basis to assess whether performance is stable, growing or declining.
He adds back the owner's salary, depreciation, amortization and personal expenses to arrive at the Seller's Discretionary Earnings.
Equipment, inventory and assets are factored into both valuation and deal structure. Updated equipment that is regularly maintained can positively impact business value
Using real, verified sales data from a network of approximately 800 brokers, Richard identifies what similar businesses have recently sold for.
At Business Planning Advisors, Inc., we provide a realistic range. For example, a business with adjusted net income of $1M might be valued between $2M and $5M. The typical range for most businesses is $3M to $3.5M. The final valuation is based on many factors, which will be explained to you.
The result is a clear-eyed picture of what buyers can be expected to pay and what steps can be taken to boost value before going to market.
Whether you are ready to list today or just starting to think about it, the first step is the same — understanding what your business is worth now.
Working with Richard and other brokers is totally different. From start to finish, he helped me all the way with lots of patience and prompt communication. I will definitely refer Richard to anyone who wants to make a deal.
Richard is a top-notch experienced professional and brings years of experience and insight. He’s excellent to work with, and led me through all the twists and turns from the initial search through closing. I highly recommend!
Richard is a Pro. The best in the business.
