The Jennessey Group performs a comprehensive evaluation of the business. The foundation of our evaluation is financial data relevant to your specific industry.  The data includes key ratios based upon the financial performance of your company.

In addition, we consult with experienced business brokers to draw upon their knowledge selling companies within your industry.

After obtaining an understanding of the general market for companies within the industry, we then incorporate the unique characteristics of the company to estimate a price that an independent third party would be willing to pay for the company based upon its financial performance. In addition, we utilize a cash flow model to ensure the financial parameters of a typical hypothetical deal structure, using the estimated value of the company, are appropriate for the purchase of the business.

As a final step, we compare the price that a buyer would be willing to pay based on financial performance of the company to the amount of money the company would receive if it liquidated its assets. The greater of the values is selected.  If the decision is that it’s not quite time to sell, we will work with you over time, updating the evaluation annually, until you are ready.
