What's a tuning business worth?

[Leslie Bartlett]

I've had two technicians virtually turn their clientelle's names over to me,
and I will turn my names over to someone when I retire.  It is my belief one
doesn't sell a "business"......  One sells him or herself and when that is
no longer occurring there is no "business", only a data base, and each of
those people, loyal to their tuner, will be freed of that loyalty.     I
have had a local person offer to "sell me names"..........   I can find
names in a phone book.   he can't sell me "business".
 
Just my skewed perspective.

Subject: What's a tuning business worth?


I will be looking to retire sometime in the next few years and I'm wondering
what my business may be worth if I sell it.  Do any of you have experience
either buying or selling a tuning/repair business (no physical retail
location, just a well established clientele)?  What is the relationship
between annual income and selling price?  Any ideas will be appreciated.
