When the owner went out and received his eye-widening “professionally prepared” valuation of his business I asked him the simple question; “would YOU pay that much for the right to run this place?” The follow on question is “you can pay x amount because you already know the players, products and producers. Would a buyer who does NOT have that information at hand need to discount that number to generate similar earnings ?”

Every valuation is prepared with an end use in mind: Seller’s POV, Buyer’s POV, Tax prep POV. Each end use will result in a different number. From an owner’s perspective, look at all of them and ask yourself “would I pay that?”
