Why its here? Cause the business = online business/website

Questions:
1. How do you sell a business in Malaysia, other than posting in Mudah
2. How do you calculate a fair price. I am taking a wild guess of 3-4x net earnings of latest year, is that ok?

there are many things that you need to look into your business to decide how much money your business worth

how many client you have for now?
how much recurring income for the new owner if they buy over?
how easily they can generate more new customer?
what is so good so special about your business that they shall buy from you instead of start a new one?
etc

Ask yourself, if you are investor, will you buy your current company and how much are you willing to buy it?

If it's a Sdn Bhd then it's a transfer of shares. It's way simpler

For Sole Proprietor it more like the person register its own Business or uses its Company if he has one established.

Then its transferring the outstanding debts and outstanding orders to the new entity.

This way however calls for three way agreement for each of the debtor and client to agree to the transfer.

Valuation should be performed by an external auditor. You can request a figure but usually buyer would do some due diligence depending on the value. If its significant the third party like auditor would come in.

Basis of selling price depends on you. There is no big rule.
If you own an intellectual property that's worth millions then you can value based on that. You can look at cash flow, earnings.. Etc

I mean sell the company, transfer of ownership is pretty straight forward
