SPECIAL REPORT: The Most (and Least) Valuable Businesses in America, pg. 96
Investors are loaded with cash. Boomers are looking to buy. Foreign firms are eager to invest. If you're looking to sell your business, Inc. magazine advises that now is a good time to hang that "for sale" sign. While it has historically been a seller's market, the magazine reports that the nation is on the cusp of shifting into a buyer's market. An estimated 65 percent to 75 percent of the small companies in the U.S. - some 10 million - will likely sell their business over the next five to 10 years. But how do you know how much your company is worth? Inc.'s fifth annual valuation guide to the private-company marketplace uncovers the most (and least) valuable companies in America. Inc. Executive Editor Mike Hofman is available to discuss the marketplace for private companies and what buyers and sellers are looking for.
