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. 


7 Factors Driving Business Valuation  


1. Performance Quality: High gross and net profit margins boost valuation 

ACTION: Regularly review financials and optimise profit margins. 


2. Level of Growth: Continuous growth and potential for expansion attract higher valuations 

ACTION: Develop a growth plan with specific steps and milestones. 


3. Cash Conversion: High-margin, low-asset businesses are more valuable 

ACTION: Improve profit efficiency and minimise asset requirements. 


4. Owner Dependency: Less dependency on the owner increases value 

ACTION: Document operations procedures for smooth functioning in your absence. 


5. Industry Perception: Thriving industries are more attractive 

ACTION: Encourage positive reviews to enhance your industry’s reputation. 


6. Economic Conditions: A strong economy boosts valuation multiples 

ACTION : Engage financial experts to time your sale strategically. 


7. A Bit of Luck: Timing and positioning can command a premium. 

ACTION : Develop a detailed exit strategy for optimal business sale conditions.
