I have a figure in mind but the company is not worth that just yet

If you believe that your business will be worth more in the future than it is currently valued at, it may be best to hold off on selling until the value of the business increases. This can be a difficult decision to make, as there may be other factors that make it advantageous to sell now, such as the availability of a good offer or the owner’s personal circumstances. It is important to carefully consider all of the factors involved and consult with a professional advisor to determine the best course of action. Our expert advisors can help you assess the potential future value of your business and determine the best strategy for maximising its value.

It is important to carefully consider all of the available options and consult with a qualified advisor to determine the best approach for selling your business.
