    We're considering selling our business but have no idea of how to put a value on it - is this something that an Estate Agent would value for us? Any recomendations, tips or advice would be really appreciated.

    Probably more a job for an accountant than an estate agent, unless the premises is the main asset (e.g. a pub).

    Some general ways to value a business would be:

    1) Value of net assets (sale value of individual assets less debts)

    2) Multiple of profits

    3) discounted cash flow (projection of cash inflows over the next few years)

    Ultimately, the price of anything is what someone is prepared to pay. Its really down to market demand.
