Business Valuations
It is true that a business is only ever worth what a prospective buyer is prepared to pay for it.
But according to research, nearly half of business owners who are planning to sell their business are unaware of how much it is potentially worth. The problem is particularly marked for the smallest businesses, with only 37% having a clear idea of the potential value of their business.
The trouble is there is no precise valuation formula that can be applied to all businesses. And ask a number of accountants for a valuation on your business and they will all probably come up with different figures. Consequently it is often said that valuing a business is as much an art as a science.
However, there are steps you can take to increase the value of your business. whether you want to sell it soon or sometime in the future, or even to pass it on to the next generation of your family. As a starting point you might want to find out how attractive your business would be to a potential buyer and even the range of values it might be worth.
