Do you know how much your business is worth? Or how to boost that value?
Unlock Your Business's Potential with Collins Hume's Strategy360 Services
Understanding your business valuation is more than just a number—it's a critical insight into the health, performance and financial future of your business.
Why Business Valuation Matters
Informed Decisions: Knowing your business’s value helps you strategise effectively
Growth Identification: Spot areas for improvement and work on enhancing them
Investor Attraction: A higher valuation makes your business more appealing to investors
Exit Strategy: Essential for fair negotiations if you plan to sell or pass on your business
Financing: Lenders assess your business value, affecting your funding opportunities
Benchmarking: Track progress and compare with industry standards
Risk Management: Identify improvement areas to mitigate risks
Financial Health: Reflects your business’s stability and performance.
Calculating Business Valuation is simple: maintainable profits times a multiple
For example, $1M in earnings with a multiple of five values your business at $5M. Improving profitability and the multiple can significantly enhance this value.
