LegacyOne helps Iowa business owners sell confidentially and for full value. We price your business on real earnings, market it only to verified buyers, and manage negotiation and closing so you can keep running the company.
Nothing. We provide a business valuation at no charge. You will see how buyers will value your business, which earnings measure applies, and what would move the number before you decide whether to sell.
Most Iowa businesses valued under roughly $2–5 million are priced on Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE), which adds back one owner’s salary and benefits. Larger companies with management in place are usually priced on EBITDA. The two use different multiples, so using the wrong one is one of the most common pricing mistakes. Try our SDE and EBITDA calculator.
Most small business sales take several months to a year from listing to closing. Timing depends on price, industry, how clean the financials are, and how quickly the buyer’s financing is approved.
Listings never use your business name. Buyers sign a non-disclosure agreement and provide a personal financial statement before receiving your confidential information memorandum or financials.
No. LegacyOne provides a business valuation at no charge to owners considering a sale.
Individual buyers, competitors and strategic acquirers, private equity and investment groups, and buyers relocating from other states. We market to buyers across the US and Canada.
