I think it would be hard to "sell" a business that is home based...because once you sell it..would the business still be in that location? I agree with Diana..I think you will only be able to sell your equipment....When I left NY in 2001...I had a great home based business...ended up just selling some equipment and kept everything else.... I "gave" the clients to other techs in the area that I thought would be able to accommodate them. Good luck tho...

Holly I went thru this at one time. Well what I thought and what was reality, way off!!!!!!!!!! LOLO Now I had a whole salon, so this may be different. But the real estate biz handles this different. They said my main value was the equipment. They start there, and then add the client list and reputation of the business.. I forget what they call the client base, there is a word for this. But I thought, well take the equipment cost and what the income was per year, reputation, and there you go the price. WRONG. They do put a value to the reputation and the client base, but not as much as you want. Because I was told you can't sell people. Those clients can walk out the door the minute you sell the place, so it is not a fixed asset. Maybe you can find a tech who needs more clients and be willing to pay you for the names and your refferrals........Hope it works out for you!!!!!!!! never to late to start a new life!!!!!!! diana from indiana At 09:48 PM 8/28/2010, you wrote: >I have been running a good little business out of my house for 6 or >7 years. >I've been building this clientelle for 14 years.
