Two reasonable people can look at the same business and land on very different numbers. This walks through how to find what's actually disputed, why the governing documents come before the debate, and the structured steps, records, assumptions review, a neutral, mediation, that resolve the gap before it becomes a lawsuit.

Pricing a partner's share isn't the same as selling the company: there's no buyer pool to test the number against. This walks through the three valuation methods, how to normalize SDE when two owners are on payroll, what moves the multiple, and when a rough estimate isn't good enough. None of those three are in the body. One thing to flag: no CTAs anywhere in this one, per your call on the last post. It ends on the education note. Take a look and tell me what to tighten.

Buying out a business partner fairly comes down to a few basics: check your agreement, settle on a realistic number, structure terms the business can actually support, and document everything clearly. This guide walks through the process in plain English.

Buying out a partner is a massive life event. Learn how to use SDE and market multiples to find a fair price that respects your "sweat equity" and the market reality—without the $10k certified valuation fee.
