How Much is My Business Worth?

Whether seeking investment or contemplating the idea of selling your business, a key question is ‘how much is my business worth?’ 

Using The Business Valuation Guide gives you a good starting point. Answering a few simple questions will provide a guide indicating a banding for your business value.

The next step is to undertake a business appraisal – an in-depth review of your business by a professional adviser with experience in your industry sector. They will analyse your business including financial performance, market conditions and future growth potential to give you a current market price for your business. 

If you are considering a business sale, then getting a clear picture of your business’s value through a business appraisal will provide you with insights that can help you enhance performance and mitigate risks.

What factors will impact on value?

Every business is different, but there are several factors that will influence your business’s overall worth. These include:

• Revenue and profitability 
• Economic conditions
• Industry conditions 
• Competitive landscape
• Brand and reputation
• Operations
• Future growth potential

Determining how much your business is worth is a vital step for any business owner, whether you are planning to sell, attract investors or gauge where your company stands in the market. 

Armed with this information, you will be in a better position to make informed decisions and maximise your business’s worth.
