Do You Own a Business or a Job?

Do You Own a Business or a Job?

A high percentage of "small business owners" actually are what I would consider "self-employed". It's easy to see why many confuse the two. Legally they're both LLC's and use Quickbooks. Both might employ others, work hard, and make their own decisions etc... But there are some big differences. Mainly, the first OWNS A BUSINESS, the second OWNS A JOB. Ask yourself some tough questions to see which one you REALLY are, like, "If I died, would my business survive and keep growing?" "What is my business worth without me?" and "Would anyone actually want to buy my business?"

I can help.

First, I can give you a very accurate fair market value of what your business is worth today, as it is. This is free for a quick ballpark Opinion of Value from me based on market data I have access to and a quick glance at your financials and give you a value range based on recently solds and industry rules of thumb, OR, I can do a full-on Certified Appraisal and make you a 25-35 page formal report where I go deep into the specifics of your business and get to an exact, supportable value that will stand up to legal or tax scrutiny. I do appraisals for very fair prices.

Second, If you realize you own a job, but want to make the leap to owning a sellable business, I offer a proven consulting package for this exact situation where I will take you on a 12-month journey to systemize and maximize your business so it becomes a stand-alone entity that can thrive and grow even when you're on vacation, and will be highly attractive to a buyer in the future.

So if you're self-employed, isn't it time you turned your job into a business? Wouldn't it be nice to some day be able to cash out all that sweat equity you've put in over all these years?
