Re: Anyone Uses Elance.com? Guru.com? Rentacoder.com? - I've had quite a bit of success on oDesk.com. I've never used Elance so I can't compare. I like oDesk.com 'cos I get to sort thru people (e.g. within a certain bid range) with a single click. I find their help response very quick and I like the oDesk Team software that "providers" must install. This gives me the Buyer more insight as to what I am paying for. The Team software takes screenshots of the Providers screen on 10 min increments so I can see that the person is infact doing work for me.
How do you set a value on a business? - Hello there! I have a friend that's looking to sell their business. I would like to know how a business gets valued. Can someone help me here? Here's some fairlyaccurate numbers: Gross sales: $153,000 (3 year avg) Income: $75,000 (3 year avg) I've heard that there's a ratio that can determine the value. Does anybody know what it is? The buyer wants to see P&L's. Is their some type of disclosure agreement that protects the seller... How is this typically done? After all, the buyer is a competitor... Buyer has suggested deposit, then pmt plans. I'm under the impression that this is common practice in the sale of a business. If so, what's the best way to approach this proposition as a seller? Thanks in advance for your feedback!
