That site is interesting -- but If I'm just looking for a ballpark, has anyone used a website where I could find comps for similar businesses (in or out of my area) -- sort of like an MLS for business?

 

It sounds like you are looking for something that can give you ballpark estimate for similar businesses in your area.

There are a few sites to consider, like Valusource for small business at valusource(dot)com/Products/BusinessStakeholders.aspx

Their service isn’t necessarily a legally binding valuation but it may be what you are looking for. A lot of the pros use their higher end stuff, but this is affordable and should work.
