The Framers Forum

I'm looking to sell my small framing business can anyone suggest the best way to advertise and how to price it

Most small framing businesses don’t have any real value as a ‘business’ because the owner is the business. So what you are usually selling is the stock and the equipment.

If you have a regular flow of business that is profitable and would definitely transfer to a new owner (contracted for example) then this would have a tangible value, but probably best sold to an existing framer locally.

Also if you have a website or a shop that is producing a regular amount of business this would have a value.

Perhaps give us some more details and we can advise better. If you don’t want to share that in public by all means PM me and I would be happy to assist.

I'm looking at buying a local framer and found them through Rightmove. Some property agents list businesses. There is also a business-specific page called Rightbiz.

This could be something to look into.

As to Gesso&Boles point, valuing a picture framing business is tricky as the majority of what is being sold is goodwill unless you have contracted work that could be transferred to a new owner.
