If you’re a business owner in Georgia, don’t wait until you’re ready to sell to get a valuation. 2025 SBA rules, market timing, and buyer financing trends are shifting—fast.
At VR Business Sales Atlanta, we help owners get ahead of the curve. Here’s why getting a valuation now could save you time, money, and missed opportunities.
✅ 1. SBA Lending Is Driving Buyer Demand
The SBA 7(a) program allows buyers to finance up to 90% of a business purchase. That’s created a surge in buyer activity—but only for businesses with clean financials and defensible value. If your business qualifies, you can command a higher price and close faster.
✅ 2. Valuation Is the First Step to Any Exit Strategy
Whether you’re thinking of selling next year or in five, knowing your business’s current value helps you plan. It gives you leverage, protects your legacy, and helps you decide what changes (if any) are needed before going to market.
✅ 3. Georgia Buyers Are Active—But Selective
In markets like Atlanta, Gwinnett, and Cobb County, buyers are actively looking for businesses in industries like landscaping, medical, logistics, and services. But they’re also cautious. A professional valuation builds trust and makes your business stand out.
✅ 4. SBA Requires Supportable Numbers
Banks underwriting SBA loans want a formal valuation or strong SDE justification. If you don’t have clean books, you’ll need an intermediary who knows how to position the business properly—especially for discretionary earnings, addbacks, and asset sales.
✅ 5. It’s the Smart Way to Stay in Control
Don’t let a buyer dictate the price. Know what your business is worth, how SBA financing impacts the price range, and how to structure the deal. With VR Business Sales, we give you that power early—before you’re even on the market.
