Furthermore, she should talk to the customers and make sure that they would be interested in this product made by a different person. If their willingness to buy is related to a relationship with the present owner, that has to be discounted. So there are a lot of things that Gwen does not yet know that relate to the question of business valuation.
If it is assumed that this business made a profit of $10,000 last year, and that this 10% financing rate offered is at least somewhat indicative of the discount rate, the perpetual value of the firm is around $100,000. The valuation of $250,000 is obviously pricing in a lot of growth that the current ownership had nothing to do with. It also…
