Evening Prospective Buyers,
I Leonard Fricke Owner of company have decided to explore the sale of my business, Laser Dollhouse Designs, and I want to be completely transparent about how I arrived at my asking price of $250,000.00.
Below is a clear, conservative valuation based on:
-
My worst revenue year
-
A count of CAD House designs (50) note this does not include all Windows, Doors, staircases in evaluations those are free extra items
-
The full value of the included equipment

Asking Price
Asking Price for the Complete Business:

How the Value Was Calculated (Conservative Approach)
To keep things simple and fair for potential buyers, I used two conservative views of the business value removing largely the revenue to maintain financial
privacy on my end:
-
A Normal Conservative Evaluation
-
A More Conservative “Sales/Asking” Evaluation
Both are based on:
-
Worst-year revenue (200 sales × $320 = $64,000)
-
3-year revenue basis for the normal case
-
Only 50 CAD House designs, even though there are more to include window, doors, staircases, shingles and other trim items...
-
Equipment value at $40,000 (2 Laser Machines, all shipping supplies, tables, routers)
📌 Conservative Value Comparison
| Component | Normal Conservative Value | Sales (Asking) Conservative Value |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue Basis | 3-year revenue using worst year only: $192,000 | Business value based on worst-year revenue only: $64,000 |
| CAD Design Library | 50 CAD designs at $5,000 each: $250,000 | CAD design library valued more conservatively: $150,000 |
| Equipment | $40,000 | $40,000 |
| Total Conservative Valuation | $482,000 | $254,000 |
| Asking Price | — | $250,000 |
What This Means for a Buyer
-
A normal conservative calculation values the business at approximately $482,000.
-
A more conservative interpretation still values it at around $254,000.
-
The asking price of $250,000 is set below even the more conservative valuation, leaving built-in value and upside for the buyer.
You are effectively getting:
-
A proven business based on worst-year numbers
-
A valuable CAD design library that is the heart of production
-
Approximately $40,000 in equipment
-
All for $250,000, which is below the conservative calculated value.
