The Myth:
When selling just the assets, you don’t need a full business valuation.

The Reality:
Even asset sales often include goodwill/intangible assets — all of which require formal valuation analysis, especially for SBA loans and tax compliance.

Why It Matters:
Ignoring non-tangible value can trigger tax issues, deal disputes, and underwriting gaps.

Practical Tip:
Evaluate total enterprise value first — then allocate properly between tangible and intangible assets for the deal.
