First off I'm not looking to get out of the ammo business at least not yet. That being said, I am 66 and my wife can retire in another 6 years so we might want to do some traveling/snowbirding or whatever rather than run an ammo business. So how to value all this? I'd want to keep a few guns the I like but quite a few are just test fixtures I use in my business. Then there is the equipment and supplies. All of that stuff is easy more or less to figure out he fair market value of but how to value the business itself? Name, reputation, suppliers, customers, pet load data and other non tangibles like licenses and insurance all have value so how do I determine what that is worth? I know when the time comes I can just shut the doors and "go out of business" but I've put a lot of energy in to this and would like to see it continue beyond me so selling as a turn key business is attractive.
