Frequently asked questions

  • How do you calculate the value of a Business?

    SD Business Advisors will assist you in exploring several different valuation methods to help determine the best approach for valuing your business. Since each business possess their own unique qualities, such as Industry, Location, Longevity, Niche, Turn-Key, Profitability, etc., there is a wide range of possible outcomes. We utilize difficult to obtain comps of privately sold businesses in addition to other industry benchmarks based upon profitability, revenue, book value and asset value to help determine the appropriate asking price range for your business.

We communicate with these buyers directly with customized opportunities that meet their individual search criteria. We also have premier memberships to every prominent business for sale website.

    SD Business Advisors has established successful long term relationships with multiple SBA lenders. The SBA loan process can be complicated, we can help match you with a bank that meets your specific needs. Please keep in mind that a buyer must also have excellent credit, substantial experience within the industry, and in most cases, outside collateral.


    There are a few other more unique financing options available that we would be happy to explore with individual buyer candidates such as tax free and penalty free 401k Rollover programs.
