Your questions answered

How do you calculate a business valuation?

We use a range of financial analyses and market-focused methods to estimate the value of your business. 

The most common method of providing an accurate business value estimate is comparing your business to other similar companies which have been bought or traded at certain prices publicly. The typical metric is a multiple of your maintainable earnings. Valuing a business is a complex process with many considerations. Get in touch with us to learn more.

What are the most critical factors for calculating a business valuation?

The most significant indicators to consider when valuing a business are:

  • Financial performance
  • Growth prospects
  • Management team
  • Barriers to entry
  • Customer mix and spread
  • Margins
  • Contracts

These indicators will help valuers provide a more accurate business valuation estimate.

How do you improve a business valuation?

Business buyers want to be confident in knowing two things:

  • That the risk of buying and owning your business is low
  • That the ROI of buying and owning your business is high

You can improve your business valuation by giving them that confidence, which we can help you do by offering precise data on the following:

  • You’ve got a data-backed 3-year strategy and strong forecasting
  • You’re earning more customers
  • Your earning more contracts
  • The duration of your contracts is increasing
  • You securely own valuable IP and brands
  • You have a strong management team
  • Your revenue is growing
  • Market conditions are changing in your business’s favour

We can provide a company valuation and expert advice to get you you the best sale price for your business.
