We’ve taken on companies of all sizes, ranging from $50K in value to $25M and up. ## How do I know my data is safe? The tech we use to collect and store your financial data meets the highest security standards, from mandatory security training and background checks to continuous monitoring to keep your data safe. ## Are business valuations under NDA / confidential? Yes, it’s illegal for us to share your private business data without your consent, and we would never try. We use your company’s financial data only to estimate the valuation with accuracy. ## What financials does your company require to run a valuation on my business? **Ideal:** the most recent 3 years of P&L broken out by month. But we can work on your trailing 12-month PNL. If you’re still clearing up 2023, we can work off 2022 financials but please note this will most likely result in a rerun (which costs us, not you). ## What financials do you need to complete the free valuation? We can complete a valuation with just one year of financial data. However, providing more information helps create a more accurate and comprehensive assessment. Ideally, you can share your Profit & Loss (P&L) statement for the trailing 12 months or the most recent full year. If those aren't available, we can also work with your tax returns. ## How do you build a network of buyers? There are 4 main ways buyers find Baton: 1. **Baton Database:** Like all top-notch sell-side M&A advisors, we have our own network of high-quality buyers. 2. **Competitor Campaign:** We scout all relevant local competitors to see if they are interested in expansion. 3. **Relevant Listing Sites:** We purchase high-visibility placements on sites like BizBuySell. 4. **Baton Network:** Our investors include Bloomberg, Giant Ventures, Trust Fund, etc. creating additional exposure traditional brokers can’t. ## What do your buyers look like? We have three primary buyer types: 1. **Small** (Owner/operators who have passion and knowledge of your industry). 2. **Medium** (Strategic buyers looking to add value to their portfolios or Competitors). 3. **Large** (Serial entrepreneurs and professional money buyers). ## What are your average time to close a deal and close rate? Our average time to close is **5.5 months**, and we have a **68% close rate** on deals. ## Has Baton completed stock sales? We do have experience with stock sales. The only difference between a stock sale and an asset sale is the contract & the diligence intensity since the buyer assumes all liabilities. ## What are the main reasons business don’t sell? 1. Having to close the business/business is no longer salable 2. Personal reasons (illness, sudden change in life circumstances) 3. Change of heart: Owners decides to continue running the business after all Talk to us about selling.
