What is the market value of my business?

The market value of your business depends on multiple factors including revenue, profitability, industry trends, assets, and growth potential. Jim Shaub provides comprehensive business valuations using proven methodologies to help you understand your company's true worth before entering the market.

How do I find qualified buyers for my company?

Finding qualified buyers requires a strategic, confidential approach. We leverage our extensive network of vetted buyers, including private equity firms, strategic acquirers, and individual investors. Our process ensures buyers have the financial capability and genuine interest before any introductions are made.

How long does the business sales process take?

The typical business sale process in Tennessee takes 6-12 months from listing to closing. However, this timeline varies based on business complexity, buyer financing, due diligence requirements, and market conditions. Proper preparation before listing can significantly streamline the process.

What are the tax implications of selling my business in Tennessee?

Tennessee offers favorable tax conditions for business sales, with no state income tax on capital gains. However, federal capital gains taxes, depreciation recapture, and deal structure all impact your net proceeds. We work with qualified tax advisors to help structure transactions that optimize your after-tax outcome.
