Free Market Assessment
What is your business really worth — and what would it take to sell it?
A Market Assessment is more than a broker’s opinion of value. It’s the same rigorous analysis some investment banks charge $2,500 for — a defensible valuation, a realistic transaction structure, the buyers who’ll actually pursue you, a timeline, and our fee. All in one document.
What’s Included
Five answers every owner needs before going to market.
Business Valuation
A defensible fair market value range, grounded in capitalization of earnings and real comparable transaction data — not a rule-of-thumb guess.
Likely Transaction Structure
The deal structure buyers in your space are actually offering today — cash at close, earnouts, seller notes, and rollover equity.
Buyer Landscape
The types of buyers most likely to pursue your business — strategic acquirers, private equity platforms, or individual buyers — and what each one pays for.
Time to Sell
A realistic timeline for a competitive process in your industry, from engagement to closed wire.
Our Fee to Represent You
A clear, upfront breakdown of what it would cost to have Jackim Woods & Co. run your sale process.
Beyond a Broker’s Opinion
Most brokers give you a number. We give you a plan.
- Capitalization of earnings AND comparable transactions — not a single rule of thumb
- Real 2026 deal terms, not textbook theory
- Named buyer types active in your specific industry today
- A fee structure with no surprises before you ever engage us
