The short answer is no. You should find someone who has experience valuing businesses and can give you a thumbnail valuation for a variety of succession strategies. You should at the least get an approximate value for the value of your business to the following groups:
1. A sale to a family member.
2. A sale to your managers.
3. A sale to an outside buyer who is a financial buyer.
4. A sale to an outside buyer who is a strategic buyer.
5. The liquidation value of your business.
Knowing what these five valuations could be would provide you with useful information as you start thinking about leaving your business.
