Valuing a Business

The two questions 'How much is your business worth?' and 'How can you make it more valuable?' are of paramount importance to any business owner.

The worth of a business hinges upon how much profit a purchaser can make from it, balanced by the risks involved. Past profitability and asset values are only the starting points. It is often intangible factors, such as key business relationships, which provide the most value.

This briefing outlines:

  • When you might need a valuation.
  • Key factors affecting business value.
  • The standard methods of valuation.
  • How to calculate profit for the purpose of valuation.
