20% business owner wants to get out

I am a 20% owner in a dog training

business. I would like to know how to

go about evaluating the value of the

business. What is considered an

asset? Are classes that we hold

considered an asset? People pay to

take classes. We also have

equipment, are those assets? What

about time spent? Can I put a cost to

that time?

Equipment is an asset. The classes are not assets, but the money is. it may come down to needing an appraiser, so keep that in mind.

Also, you do not say what kind of business, so check your by-laws (corporate) or LLC operating agreement about what you have to do to get out.
