What is your business worth and why should you know?
Many business owners assume they will only need a valuation when they are selling their business. A valuation may also be required when seeking finance or insurance, for tax calculations, liquidations, or relationship breakdowns. Even when there’s nothing like that on the immediate horizon, a valuation will give you a starting point from which you can then make strategic decisions to add value.
Our valuation team has a thorough understanding of the components of value and the right blend of commercial experience, analysis and professional judgement to deliver a robust and fair assessment. At the end of the process, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of your business’s key value areas and what to improve on for a better exit outcome.
The Business Valuation Process
How do valuers figure out how much a business is worth?
Valuing a business is complex. There are many factors that affect the value (and marketability) of a business. One determinant of value is your current and recent profit history. However, profit is only a starting point. Less tangible factors such as customer relationships, business risk, intellectual property, the legal and regulatory environment and future potential of the business are also major considerations. Added to this, the exact process and factors assessed can differ depending on the particular market and industry sector. Find out some of the things we take into account in this short video.
