SELL MY BUSINESS QUIZ

How do I know if I am ready to sell my business? Readiness comes down to a few things: a stable revenue history, organized financials, clean legal standing, and a clear reason for selling. The quiz above walks you through the same questions Tom Brubaker asks on a first call. If you are still unsure after taking it, that is exactly the moment to talk to Tom directly.

How much is my business worth? Most owners are surprised by the number, in both directions. Value depends on your earnings, your industry, your growth trend, and the buyers active in the market right now. Tom offers a free business valuation with no obligation, so you can start from a real number before making any decisions.

Do I need perfect financial records before I can sell? No. Clean books make a sale smoother and usually bring a stronger price, but messy records are one of the most common and most fixable issues Tom sees. He can point you to the right CPA or bookkeeper and map out the shortest path to market.

What if my business has legal issues or a pending dispute? Legal complications make a sale harder, but they rarely make it impossible. Tom has guided transactions through lawsuits, partnership disputes, and tax problems. The worst move is assuming your situation cannot be sold without ever asking.

A buyer has already approached me. Should I take the offer? Be careful. Unsolicited offers almost always come in below what a properly marketed sale would bring. Before you respond, get a free valuation from Tom so you know whether the offer is fair or whether you are leaving money on the table.

Is the first conversation really free? Yes. The first call with Tom is free and never a sales pitch. You work directly with Tom from that first conversation through closing, which is what sets a boutique firm like TAMBAY Mergers & Acquisitions apart from a national franchise brokerage.
