Thanks for all the info guys! I really appreciate it. Does anyone else have any opinions? I will be meeting with three or four companies this week and next week about purchasing my business.

You don't want to leave money on the table; additionally, he might be able to provide you with some guidance on sale price based on a variety of factors including previous sale prices for comparable businesses.
Ditto. Without doing this, the range of what different individuals think the business is worth is going to be extremely wide....so much in fact, that it may be useless.
Good luck, Stan

I doubled the monthly income and added a little extra on (for the accounts) and than sold all equipment separate. After that we just came to an agreement that we were both happy with!

Alright....good deal.

They say the "perfect deal" is when both parties walk away thinking "sucker".
The buyer would have paid more and the seller would have taken less!
