Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of Crystal Lake businesses do you sell?
McHenry County's mix shows up clearly in Crystal Lake — contractors and mechanical trades, landscaping and home services, small manufacturers and fabricators, healthcare practices, and established local retail and service businesses.
Do Chicago-area buyers look this far northwest?
Yes. Crystal Lake is on the Metra line and within reach of both the northwest suburbs and southern Wisconsin, so buyers from a wide area consider businesses here — especially trades and service companies with established customer bases.
What is my business likely to sell for?
Most small businesses trade somewhere between roughly 1.5 and 5 times Seller's Discretionary Earnings, and where you land inside that range depends on your industry, size, growth trend, customer concentration, and how much the business depends on you. The familiar "three times profit" rule is a rough guess at best — a Broker's Opinion of Value tells you where your business actually falls.
