Be a trusted advisor

    • Become business owners’ most trusted advisor by acting as the “quarterback” of the total planning team.

Develop long-term relationships

A PROVEN Lead Machine

Helps You Build New Business Faster. There are several reasons why providing a free valuation will help you generate more and better leads.

Instant Door Opener

    • Gives you a door opener when you can offer a FREE ballpark business valuation (including a “Business Performance Score”)—allowing you to attract new clients.

Identify higher-net worth individuals

    • Targeting business owners means you typically find individuals with higher income and assets.

Provide better financial planning

    • For many business owners, their business is their greatest asset. Knowing what their business is worth makes it easier to assess the owner’s overall financial needs.

Improve your reputation as a “trusted advisor”

    • You can estimate the current value of your client’s business much more accurately with a valuation (rather than simply taking the owner’s estimate at face value), so your ballpark valuation is much closer to reality. This is key to helping a client avoid a significant asset gap when they’re ready to retire (since many owners massively over-estimate their business value).

Close more business

    • Not only does a FREE valuation help attract clients, it also helps prove your value as an advisor…increasing credibility, while showing shortfalls that may exist in their current financial plan (including being under-insured) which can help you close more business.

BEST Ballpark Valuation

If you are going to provide a ballpark valuation—it should be easy, fast and provide a reasonable estimate of value—plus include a “Business Performance Score.” ValuSource invented the approach that combines actual business sales with other market-based factors to estimate a company’s value and business performance.

Provides Value & “Business Performance Score.” Value is important, but there is a more compelling reason for every business owner (whether they’re contemplating selling soon or not) to get this new type of business valuation—because it calculates a “Business Performance Score.” This score is determined by comparing their business to others that have sold in their industry with similar revenue and cash flow. If their business is in the healthy range–they’re fine. If not, they know there is a problem that needs to be addressed.
