EMK Advisors provides three main services: business valuations to determine fair market value, representing owners who are selling their businesses, and representing qualified buyers to help them find targeted acquisitions. While many businesses are listed for sale each year, only a small percentage actually sell, usually due to issues like poor records, an unreasonable asking price, or the owner not being truly motivated to sell. When selling a business, it is advised to hire a professional broker who can properly value the business, maintain confidentiality, and market the business to qualified buyers.
