The market value of your business can be determined in a number of ways. Consider contacting a <a href=\"https:\/\/thecompanyseller.com\">Fort Lauderdale Business Broker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Calculate the value of the assets. Calculate the value of all the assets owned by the business in Fort Lauderdale, including its equipment and inventory. Subtract any liabilities and debts.

Probably a better measure would be a multiple of earnings for the company, or a price-to-earnings ratio (P\/E). Please estimate the company&#8217;s earnings over the next few years. According to a typical P\/E ratio of 15, the company would be worth $3 million if the projected earnings were $200,000.<\/p>\n<p>Conduct a discounted cash flow analysis. As part of the discounted cash flow analysis, the business&#8217;s annual cash flow is projected into the future, and the value of the future cash flow is discounted to today using a &#8220;net present value&#8221; calculation. Online NPV calculators are easy to find and use.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t limit yourself to financial formulas.
