For Business Owners

Know What the Business Is Really Worth and Why It Matters

Whether you’re buying a business, planning to sell, or navigating a transition, it starts with understanding the value.

At AMP, we guide business owners, prospective buyers, and sellers through the valuation process with clarity, speed, and real-world insight, helping you make smarter, more confident decisions.

Common Situations

We’ve Helped Clients
in Situations Like These

You’re not alone. These are the real challenges our clients bring to us.
We tailor every valuation to meet real-world needs—see how we support each scenario.

Selling Your Business

Whether you're preparing to exit now or in five years, an insightful valuation report helps you plan ahead, set expectations, and avoid underselling.

Buying a Business

Unsure if the asking price is fair? We deliver valuation and due diligence services to help buyers negotiate and find the right opportunity.

Planning for a Future Transition

We help owners explore succession options, including family transfers, employee buy-ins, and gradual exits.

Business Divorce or Partner Buyouts

When partnerships shift or dissolve, a transparent and neutral valuation can minimize conflict and achieve a quicker resolution.
