What the assessment measures
Provable
Would your numbers hold up when a buyer's accountant checks them against your tax returns?
Transferable
Does the business run when you're not there? Every task that only you can do lowers the price.
Purposeful
Do you know what you're selling toward? Owners without a picture of life after the sale find reasons not to sell.
Who built this
I'm Eric Erickson. I spent 13 years running operations at Honeywell, then helped more than 200 Tucson families buy and sell homes. Today I help owners sell their businesses through a Tucson firm that has closed more than 800 deals.
I also bought a dry cleaning business that now runs on two to three hours of my time a week. So I've done the work this assessment measures, on my own business.
Jacki and Mary sold their catering company in 3 months for double what they thought it was worth.
Larry and Lois sold their landscaping company in 4 months.
