For instance, you may be seeking merger or acquisition activity, you may be planning to sell your business, or be looking for funding to support growth or acquisition intent.
Do you ever consider what your business might be worth in the open market?
Many business people have their own idea of the value of their business to them, but that is not how someone else necessarily values your business.
We can provide a range of valuations to suit very different circumstances. This includes personal interest (high level, low cost) through to considering a formal offering to market, a shareholder retirement/dispute or even for divorce purposes.
Many people see their business as their retirement plan, looking to the business to provide the capital and/or income to support the retirement ambition.
But have you considered how the business can operate without you? Are you key to the business, so much so that without you the business may contract, even die? If this is the case, then a succession plan needs to be developed in order to maximise the most important business valuation enhancer, that of underlying profit sustainability and hence goodwill.
Time to exit? You need to maximise the value of the business but also minimise the taxation bill that follows!
