GEORGE M. ARAPAGE
George Arapage provides expert testimony for business values by being involved in the selling of small businesses on a daily basis. By keeping a finger on the pulse of the market, Mr. Arapage’s expertise in evaluating small businesses qualifies him for the most significant indicator for value; what someone is willing to pay for a business and what someone is willing to sell a business for.
The truest sense of value has intangible aspects that can only be learned by dealing directly with sellers or buyers on a day-to-day basis. Many intangibles simply cannot be found in a textbook. Mr. Arapage is able to simplify the appraisal process and defend any small business value because of his extensive experience.
