What You’ll Actually Get

When we evaluate your business, you receive three distinct price points:

Your Rock Bottom Price - This is your floor. The lowest reasonable offer you should consider accepting. Knowing this number protects you from making emotional decisions under pressure.

Your Most Probable Sales Price (MPSP) - This is what you’ll likely achieve in a well-run sale process. It accounts for current market conditions, buyer appetite for businesses like yours, and realistic negotiation outcomes.

Your Maximum Financeable Price - This is your ceiling - the highest price a qualified buyer could pay with financing in play. When strategic buyers compete and bank financing enters the picture, prices can stretch significantly.

Here’s the part that matters: we sell 9 out of 10 projects within 10% of the MPSP we assign. This isn’t guesswork. We know what businesses actually sell for because we’re in the market every day.

Sometimes We Discover Something Better

Occasionally, we find that a business has strategic value that exceeds what the financials alone would suggest. Maybe you’ve built proprietary technology. Maybe you own a market position a competitor desperately needs. Maybe your customer relationships are worth more to an acquirer than they appear on paper.

When we see this, we recommend an unpriced bid process - essentially an auction among qualified buyers. We’ve achieved results that doubled the financial valuation using this method. You won’t know if you’re sitting on strategic value until we look.

Expertise You Can Trust

Every evaluation is conducted by two professionals working together:

A Certified M&A Professional (CM&AP) who understands deal dynamics, buyer behavior, and market conditions. And a CPA who holds a Certified Financial Valuation Analyst (CFVA) credential - someone trained specifically in business valuation methodology.

This isn’t a junior associate running your numbers through a formula. It’s two senior professionals giving your business the scrutiny it deserves.

Yes, We Ask for Documents

Any broker who gives you a number without reviewing your financials is blowing smoke. You cannot evaluate a business for sale in good faith without looking at the actual documentation.

We’ll ask for tax returns, P&L statements, balance sheets, customer concentration data, and more. It feels like a lot. It is a lot. That’s the point - thoroughness protects you from wasting months pursuing an unrealistic price.

Designed for Busy Owners

You’ve got a business to run. We get it.

We’ll work directly with your bookkeeper or CPA to gather documents. If you prefer, you can give us access to your accounting system and our analyst will pull the reports directly. The goal is to minimize demands on your time while still getting everything we need.

Once we have your documents, expect your evaluation within 10 business days.

Building Your Case From Day One

After we’ve reviewed your financials, we schedule an operations call. This isn’t a sales pitch - it’s a structured interview that helps us understand your business beyond the numbers.

We assess six key areas:

Ownership Transition Risk - Can the business operate without you? Are your processes documented? Do key employees manage customer relationships, or is everything in your head?

Company Growth - What do your revenue trends look like? What’s driving growth, and is it sustainable?

Industry Dynamics - Is your market expanding, stable, or contracting? How will this affect buyer interest?

Market Demand - How predictable is your revenue? Is your business resistant to technological disruption? Will buyers find it accessible?

Financial Health - Are your books clean? How are your margins? Do you have customer concentration risk?

Competitive Position - Do you have pricing power? What’s your reputation in the market?

This interview accomplishes something important: we start building your marketing package from Day One. If you decide to move forward, we’ve already done the foundational work. No time wasted.

Why This Matters for Both of Us

An evaluation is a two-way assessment. For you, it’s a chance to see how we work before committing to anything. You’ll experience our thoroughness, our communication style, and our expertise firsthand - with zero obligation.

For us, it’s how we determine whether this is a project we’re confident we can successfully complete. We’re selective - roughly 85% of inquiries don’t become clients. Not because those businesses aren’t valuable, but because we only take on projects where we believe we can deliver.

If we accept your business for representation, it means we’ve looked at everything and concluded: we can sell this. That’s a better signal than any promise.

No Fee. No Obligation. No Catch.

The evaluation is free. Completely. If you decide not to proceed, you’ve lost nothing but a few hours of conversation and you’ve gained real clarity about your business’s market position.

If you do proceed with Arx, we work on a success fee basis - we only get paid when you get paid. Our interests are aligned from the start.
