You could do that, but I believe that most folks would want to see the history of the business over a three to five year period of time.

If you are looking for this information so that you can sell your business you would need take into consideration several more factors to arrive at the market value for a home inspection business.

If you are selling your business and you are a one or two man operation, there is little value to sell.

In a service/professional business like ours, 'the operator' is what a client 'buys', and, if you are selling, there is not much for a person to buy other than 'a phone number'. It is then up to them to try to retain as many calls which come in as they can.

In 1994 I sold my 2 1/2 guy business to move to TN. A year and a half ago I bought a single guy business.
I would be happy to discuss it privately if you care to e-mail.

What was the 1/2 guys' job, entering all of the tight crawl spaces and attics?

Funny - I didn't think of it that way. I should have said: 2 full time and one part time.

Come to think of it, one of them was kind of a half-wit.
