What is business valuation?
Simply stated, business valuation is a process combined with a firm set of procedures that are used to determine what a business is worth.
While this sounds easy enough, getting your business valuation done right is based on a professional approach necessitating a skilled approach, preparation and analytical thought.
Real versus perceived value
Valuation can make or break a business sale as in many cases, sellers attach a value to their company that is based on emotional investment, on dedicated time and years spent on building and growing the business from a fledgling start-up to a profitable enterprise.
Financially unsubstantiated, the valuation process can quickly devolve into a pricing routine that is rooted in personal attachments and other subjective inputs rather than solid data based on marketplace realities.
Actual value
The actual value of your business is simply the amount someone is willing to pay for it in the business-for-sale marketplace. Personal feelings about your company's worth are far less important than sound valuation methodology, accurate documentation, seller financing and other factors that could potentially influence value.
Determing the value of your business
In general terms, the process of determining the price that a business will be sold, or bought for, is referred to as business valuation. In reality, you are attaching an established value on a business, or certain parts of it, in order to successfully dispose of it.
In order to understand the importance of business valuation, it is important to know when it is used or when it is needed. Usually, the subject of business valuation becomes more rampant in conjunction with a possible takeover offer or any other form of business combination, whether it’s a merger, straight acquisition or consolidation. Businesses also tend to focus on valuation methods when they seek financing for a major project or venture.
Other aspects of importance are for business assurance purposes, to facilitate determined value in buy and sell agreements and agreed share buy-back price levels.
