>> 'Michael Gerber, renowned business Guru and author of 'The E-Myth', says that the purpose of a business is to sell it.  You may disagree with him and add a few other purposes as well, but his point is that you will approach your business in a quite different way if you have this end in mind.

Your plans may require your business to be your most valuable asset - many people rely on an eventual sale to fund their retirement dreams.  But building a business of value takes time and focus.  It is simply not possible to significantly boost the value in the year before a sale.

It therefore makes a lot of sense to value your business on a regular basis.  This helps you see how all the hard work is paying off and ensures that you're on track to meet your goals.  It can also be a useful exercise if you are thinking of bringing other shareholders on board.
