What Is My Company Worth?

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What is my company worth?”—you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions business owners ask when selling their business. Knowing your company’s value is a decisive first step, whether you’re planning to retire, pivot into something new, or want to explore your options.

Why Understanding Value Matters

Knowing what your company is worth helps in many ways:

• Set a price that attracts serious buyers
• Avoid leaving money on the table
• Gain the confidence to make your next move

Just asking the question means you’re already thinking like a strategic owner. And the sooner you get clarity, the better your choices will be.

What Affects Business Value?

Buyers look at more than just profit. They want the whole picture. Several factors influence how much your company is worth, including:

• Steady cash flow and earnings
• Physical assets and inventory
• Contracts and loyal customers
• Trends in your specific industry
• The strength of your team and systems

Because each business is unique, these elements carry different levels of importance depending on your industry and location.
