CHALLENGING THE
MYTHS AND
MYSTERY OF
BUSINESS VALUATION
MYTHS AND
MYSTERY OF
BUSINESS VALUATION
Anyone can provide a valuation for a business, but few company valuations are impartial or can be trusted. Advisors can inflate valuations to seal signatures, and accountants may miss intangibles and tend to be conservative. Acquirers will always try to achieve the best price they can so there is always pressure on you to prove your worth.
Not all business valuation calculator tools are the same, either: the amount paid upfront, the timing of milestone payments, and restrictions on earn-outs can often complicate offers too. There are a few business sectors where the valuations are based more around revenues than profitability. Our calculator also takes this into account.
Enter your details below and receive a free valuation based on the financials you supplied. It can either be used to compare with a valuation you have already received or to give you a ‘first pass’ on what your business may be worth, should it be sold.
We have collated actual data on completed deals across all sectors in the last 12 months and reverse-engineered multipliers and weighting. We have also compared it with industry reports covering over a thousand transactions over the last two years – split by size and sector.
This means that, if nothing changes, we are reporting to you a 90% confidence range for your company disposal price. This takes into account sector, profitability, assets and overall enterprise size.
Of course, there are always exceptions, but unless there is a significant or compelling reason that makes your company uniquely different, your business will be sold somewhere between the upper and lower limits.
Unless you allow us to help you find the right buyer. With the right fit we can help you command a premium, and realise a better exit.
You are welcome to use our business valuation calculator, which is great for an initial guide on the range of offers you can expect for your business. However, if you prefer, please contact the Firm Gains team.
