I believe the complete opposite. If someone is willing to buy your business, no matter the amount, it’s because it’s worth MUCH more than what they’re paying. It’s illogical for them to pay less than its real value. It’s even illogical to think they’d pay exactly what it’s worth. Why would somebody bother buying a company if they were only going to break even?

You are ignoring the risk aspect. There is a chance that it is worth more than they are paying, but there is also a chance it will be worth less.

Selling a part of your business can help spread risk to a new investor reducing your own personal risk.

what I'm saying is the buyers are subject to the same risks, I'm not ignoring them

But obviously an investor with $XYZ under management that can make N bets is better equipped to handle that risk than you, an individual with 1 bet.

fair point :)
