Selling Your Business? How MUCH is Your Equipment Worth?

You’ve decided to sell your business. OK, how do you price it? That’s a complicated question, but one part you will definitely need to know – How much is your equipment CURRENTLY worth? You shouldn’t trust just anyone to determine the value of machinery and equipment.
