Business Valuation – It all begins with Insights

Why do Employee Share Ownership Plans work? Thumbnail

Business Valuation is often described as “more art than science”, but it doesn’t need to be. Completing a business valuation is essentially answering two key questions – what return can I get from my investment and how risky is it?

While some business owners go into business seeking an income or wage, most go with the expectation to build up their business’ value over a period of time and extract that value when they exit. However, very few business owners know the actual value of their business and more importantly how that value is really determined. This is a key aspect of exit planning – what are the key value drivers of your business?

What the webinar addresses:

  • Key concepts and valuation methods
  • Risk and return

What you can expect to learn:

  • How to conduct reverse due diligence – a thorough analysis from a buyer’s perspective
  • How to identify gaps that may prevent a business owner from maximising return
