The Hatteras Group Announces New Online Rating Tool for Prospective Business Sellers

Business Acquisition Advising Firm Offers Convenient Website for Business Owners to Assess the Key Value Drivers in Business.

Raleigh, NC, August 10, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Alan Clark, principal of The Hatteras Group (www.hatterasgroup.com), a collaborative network of professional intermediaries and acquisition advisors leading business owners and entrepreneurs through the buying and selling of businesses, has announced that prospective clients can now utilize an online tool that allows business owners to analyze how easily their businesses may sell. Available at www.couldisellmybusiness.com, a business owner can use this 13 minute free and confidential self-assessment tool to predict the “sellability” of his or her company. Additionally, the survey can also predict the likelihood of getting a premium over industry average valuation multiple when they are ready to sell.

The survey is cloud-based and uses a carefully researched algorithm that will score eight key attributes of a sellable business and provide a “Sellability Score”. The survey is then received by Hatteras Group associate Sean Lacy, who will also provide a 26 page report full of charts and graphs that will give insights into these factors and how buyers evaluate a business for sale.

The "Sellability Score" was developed using a quantitative survey of business owners with annual revenue between $50,000 and $100,000,000. Additional research included a quantitative survey of Merger & Acquisition (M&A) professionals along with statistical analysis to create an algorithm that predicts the sellability of a company.

Quotes:
“This Sellability Score assessment is a great first step for a business owner to get a clear understanding of the value drivers in their business and potential hurdles that if addressed prior to selling their business could result in selling at a higher price," said Clark. “We are excited that Sean is able to offer this tool as a platform for prospective clients to evaluate their personal business situations and begin the process of preparing their business for sale.”
