Loyalty Test

Why Clients Who Only Know You Lower the Price

A loyal client base looks like an asset, but buyers often price it as a risk. If you went quiet for a month, would your clients notice? Say a buyer opens the client file and finds every contract signed in the owner's name. Advising founders as an accountant has taught Saul that a client list is worth only what the business keeps. Advice on more than 100 transactions shows buyers price loyal clients as a risk when every relationship runs through the owner. Hand over the client calls now, and document each account so the revenue stays when you step back. Prove your clients stay without you, and buyers start paying for the list.
