  • Business Valuation Benchmarking – what is my business worth? DO I need to pay someone to understand the value of my business? How do outsiders value a business? What is EBITDA anyway? I’ve heard of these Multiplies people receive when selling their business, where do I find mine?
  • Business Succession options – I am ready to exit my business, what are the options. Who can help me understand them? Who should I contact to help me sell my business?
  • Business Risk – I have insurance for my building, auto’s, liability, and D&O insurance. What other risks should I be concerned about; how do I protect my business?
  • Banking – I can’t get my bank to loan me any money, why? What does a bank look at when they decide to
