Let's Play A Game! What Price Did This Business Sell For?
How this poll works
This poll and the information provided is based on a real small business sale. We have altered things slightly so that you can't identify the specific business for reasons of confidentiality.
Your job is to guess the price range for what the business actually sold for.
Assumptions: The sale of the business did not include a buyer assuming any of the business debts nor did the buyer get any of the cash in the business.
