How a Business Valuation Can Help
When business owners, managers, investors, or potential buyers have a clear understanding of the source of a company’s value, they are better equipped to plan effectively, make well-informed decisions, drive growth, mitigate risks, and maximise future value.
Capital Raising & Financing
A valuation report offers a credible assessment of a company’s worth and provides insights into the optimal capital structure. The report can support a business’s funding requests and assist in negotiating fair terms with investors or lenders. As a result, necessary capital can be secured, while minimising the dilution of existing shareholders’ ownership.
Business Sale
A valuation report helps business owners effectively plan for their business sale and acts as a valuable tool during negotiations. By understanding the key strengths that contribute to future value, business owners can approach negotiations with confidence, set realistic expectations, and secure the best possible outcome.
Merger or Business Acquisition
A detailed valuation report provides a fair assessment of a business’s value, identifies synergies and value creation opportunities, and offers insights for integration planning. This knowledge allows business owners and managers to negotiate optimal deal terms and make informed strategic decisions.
Restructuring
A comprehensive valuation can identify aspects of business operations that limit company value, particularly those affecting cash flows. Since cash flow has a direct bearing on a company’s worth, identifying and addressing these areas can significantly boost overall value. The report also helps to differentiate between essential and non-essential assets, allowing different restructuring options to be evaluated.
Strategic Planning
For strategic planning purposes, the valuation report provides a clear understanding of a company’s value while also identifying key value drivers and suggesting operational improvements. We recommend that valuations be carried out every few years. An initial valuation provides a crucial baseline, allowing future valuations to measure how much value has been created or destroyed in the intervening period.
Estate & Succession Planning
Business valuations provide a solid foundation for effective retirement planning, ownership transitions, succession planning, and developing exit strategies.
