Through our conversations with founders, business owners, and potential investors, we’ve noticed that one of the biggest questions buyers have is how to properly evaluate a business before making an investment. The asking price is only one part of the equation. Understanding the business’s financial health, operations, risks, and growth potential is equally important.
Here are 10 key things to check:
- Financial Performance – Review revenue, expenses, profits, and financial trends. Sit with the business Auditor to get the full picture.
- Asking Price & Valuation – Make sure the asking price reflects the business’s actual value.
- Debts & Liabilities – Check for outstanding loans, payments, or other obligations.
- Licenses & Legal Documents – Verify all required licenses, permits, registrations, and contracts.
- Customer Base – Assess customer loyalty and recurring revenue.
- Employees & Operations – Understand the team and how dependent the business is on its current owner.
- Market Position – Consider competitors, demand, reputation, and industry trends.
- Assets & Inventory – Verify the condition and value of the business’s assets.
- Growth Potential – Identify opportunities for expansion and increased profitability.
- Due Diligence – Verify the information provided before making a final decision.
