Business Appraisal Valuations
If you are seeking to establish a reliable sale value for your marine business, our industry leading trade and investor intelligence-backed appraisal service is carried out sensitively and confidentially. It is supported by First Peninsula’s unique Business Sales Comparisons Index, our proprietary database of marine business sales metrics. We offer a proven framework designed to help maximise value, achieve a competitive edge in the market and obtain advice and support in preparing a business for sale. We help owners understand what their marine business is worth (likely value achievable), what supports and drives that value, how marketable it might be, what demand there might be and what the profile of buyer will most likely be.

SERVICES FOR SMALL MARINE BUSINESSES
The marine industry has created a great number of micro businesses which we define as for example a sole owner operator business, perhaps with only a single service vehicle or vessel. Or it could be that an owner has reduced the size of the business down overtime, ahead of a retirement closing, but would still have asset and goodwill value to offer. Either way, a fully managed agency service may not be appropriate in such circumstances, so we have evolved an alternative approach for smaller marine businesses, one which offers optional services with lower fee commitments in stages, with no less of a possibility of achieving a sale.
