What is your business worth?
Brokers start with your P&L. We start with you.
Your financials set the floor. The genius sets the multiple.
The relationships that took twenty years to build. The process nobody else in your industry runs. The reason your customers stay when someone cheaper calls. A conventional, transaction-focused broker prices what’s on the return and stops there. What you can’t prove, you don’t get paid for.
What we look at beyond the numbers:
How much the business depends on you personally
Customer concentration and the quality of your contracts
Management depth below the owner
The condition and credibility of your financials
Where the genius lives, and whether a buyer can see it
You see the math.
Multiple valuation models. Real comparables from more than 1,000 businesses sold since 2003. Current market data on what buyers are actually paying right now, not what they paid three years ago.
We walk you through the result. We don’t email you a number and wait.
And the number never arrives alone. You can’t price a business honestly without knowing what a buyer will discount, so the gaps come with it.
What the number tells you.
More than a formula can tell you. It depends on your adjusted earnings, your industry, how much the business depends on you, and what buyers are paying right now. Adjusted earnings are what the business actually produces for an owner, once one-time costs and personal expenses are added back. Most of the businesses we sell are worth $1 to $50 million.
No. A valuation is what your business should sell for. An offer is what one buyer will pay. Our job is closing the gap between the two.
Multiple models, real comparables from more than 1,000 sales since 2003, and current market data — plus the value a tax return never shows. You see the math.
Yes. The valuation and the value gap analysis come in one document — your Exit Readiness Report — because they’re the same work. You can’t price a business credibly without knowing what a buyer will discount.
No. Plenty of owners get one years out, just to see where they stand. It’s where a smart exit begins.
Once we have your financials, we move quickly — and we walk you through the result rather than sending you a number.
One fee, paid as the work is delivered. Sigma is paid fairly, and only for work actually completed. Rather than a single payment at closing, your fee is paid in stages along the way. What you pay is part of your fee — never on top of it. And there’s no clock on it: work we do for you today still counts toward your fee whether you sell next year or twenty years from now. Your full fee structure is set out in your engagement proposal.
At every step. We never market with identifying details, and every buyer signs an NDA before seeing anything.
You built it. Find out what it's worth.
