Hello everyone,
Long time lurker just registered to ask this question.
Kinda an odd question so please bear with me but I Thought you smart people can help me figure out something.
Im dating a girl whos father has died recently and left no will. She is the sole heir and has the step mom who her father married. In our state the heir and stepmom will split all assets 50/50.
The assets included are a brick and mortar specialty food store selling oils and spices. My gf is wondering how she should value this business . Her step mom has low balled(we think) her and is pressuring her to sign over her part of the business. MY gf's dilemma is she doesn't know if its a fair value offer for her portion or just a low ball ,like i think it is.
Here our the financial info Ive consolidated into an excel spread sheet: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1X6YpbDH5q3GMVVTG0zanItQ_WV9ukiyE
She is being offered only 30k for 50% of her equity in the business. This to me seems kinda low basically a PE of 1.
Can anyone shine any light on this situation? Does anyone have any intimate knowledge of private market valuations? Or perhaps a course of action that makes sense. We have retained a attorney but our budget isnt very high and valuation isnt his forte. IM doing my best to try to help her in any way I can.
Thank you in advance!
