What is a Business Valuation?
Put simply, it is a report detailing the fair market value of your business in its current state if you were to list it for sale today.
What are the main ways we value your business?
Willing Buyer Willing Seller
Willing Buyer Willing Seller basis is the estimated amount for which an asset (your business) should be exchanged on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction. This is following a proper marketing period where the parties each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
Forced Sale
Forced sale valuation, also sometimes referred to as distressed sale value or liquidation value, estimates the price an asset would likely fetch if sold quickly and under unfavourable conditions. This could involve the selling of the whole of your business or breaking it up and selling assets individually.
More than 95% of businesses never sell. If you are thinking about selling then there are steps you need to take 3-5 years potentially before you go to market. Get in touch to find out more.
