First of all, what do you think the present value is?
What is your opinion based on - you and your partners contribution or current market conditions?
A going concern with revenue is always more valuable than a startup.
If you have been in business for awhile, you have built up a certain amount of good will that would be included in a business valuation if you were going to sell.
Are you presently profitable?
Many times partners in a company simply want to share expenses. If this is your case, why not take in two more partners - split the expenses 5 ways - then prorate the profits based on revenues. When they bring in more, they earn more. In the meantime, you and your partners expense will be less.
