Business valuations — how it works

The road to achieving the best sales outcome

Valuing a business is a complex process. A business valuation from Nash Advisory can give you an understanding of what you stand to gain. Here's how our analysis process works:

  • We identify key areas of strength and weakness, and scope out areas for improvement
  • We compare your business to others in the market along with similar sales results to gauge your relative strength
  • We fully explain how the results of this analysis can impact your valuation and saleability

The first step is to organise a free initial consultation with our team. Fill in the form and we will contact you to arrange a discovery call.

Your questions answered

How long does it take to sell a business in Shepparton?

Selling a business will generally take between 6 and 12 months and, in some cases, longer, depending on the parties' requirements. A well-planned process should result in a higher outcome for the vendor. Companies who wish to sell their business quickly (i.e. within the next three months) will typically get a lower result. We aim to set out all expectations and have a clear business sale strategy, so all areas of the process can be covered.

Who could we sell my Shepparton business to?

The buyer pool can be vast or quite specific. This usually depends on the size of your business, the management team, and the industry. The buyers could be private investors, large trade buyers, or private equity firms. Each buyer group acquires businesses in different ways.

Is my data safe when talking to a competitor?

We always ensure that buyers sign confidentiality agreements. When the buyer is a direct competitor, we withhold sensitive information until the end of the transaction. We typically break up the data provided into three batches, with the final batch including key customers, pricing and employees.

What is involved in due diligence?

A buyer will want to consider all aspects of your business—financials, contracts, customers, industry tailwinds, and management, to name just a few. Diligence can take as little as one month or up to four months, depending on your ability to access critical data. Our job is to push the process forward and ensure diligence runs smoothly.

How much will my Shepparton business sell for?

The market will determine the value of a business. However, we aim to provide a 'view of value' through our Nash 360 Valuation Report. In addition, we engage with our trusted buyers and investors early in the process to determine prices and terms. We can do this within the first one to three months of the process.
