Business Valuation as a tool for Strategy
Understanding value, now and periodically as you implement your strategy, is fundamental to optimising the return from your Business Exit.
Three questions to ponder
Current Value
Do you know the real current value of your business as viewed by investors and acquirers?
Strategy Alignment
Is your strategy aligned with optimising your business value?
Sellability
Do you know how to improve the odds of being able to sell your business?
Room for improvement?
Most owners we speak with recognise that even successful businesses can do with incorporating an Exit Strategy approach to aligning business development with their personal goals.
We work with you to:
Ensure that there is a clear understanding of what drives business valuation and saleability.
Provide shareholders with clarity around how the current strategy may impact value creation.
Deliver a yardstick that shows progress on the value creation strategy, rather than performance on operational measures.
How well is your business doing on the Value Drivers that matter to buyers and investors?
A Toolkit to create Value

Why consider us?
Many people conduct valuations. Not all are familiar with the mindset of prospective investors and acquirers. Our background gives us the insight into what matters in assessing a business, now as well as its future prospects, by doing a full appraisal rather than focusing simply on the valuation. It’s that insight which can help shape a strategy that best prepares you for an exit...
... and we have built and sold businesses. It doesn't always go the way you expect, so we think that experience can help other business owners.
We could go on but, we find that a conversation is a more efficient way of helping you decide just how our skills will help.
