What value is not! Twenty years of hard work, sleepless nights and big dreams do not necessarily contribute to value. If the business is a success because of it…then you can measure that success by the size of your bank account and the trail of customers at your door. But, if all you have to show for it is an empty till and bags under your eyes – there may be no equity build-up for you to sell. It breaks my heart to look at company that has been mismanaged for decades and have to tell the owner that it has virtually no market value. In their hearts they know it is true – but they hope against hope that some buyer will see value in their struggle that they themselves could not enjoy.
