How does it Work?

the Market Price Valuation Methodology and
a Visit to the business, and meeting the owner for specifics

Market Price Valuation Methodology

"A good example has twice the value of good advice!"

The Market Price Valuation Methodology used by us is based on data and the analysis of that data. Small businesses are very hard to value unlike larger businesses that are based mostly on financial factors and return of investment in one way or another to investors, be that capital growth or dividend yield or both. The price of a SME is determined by various other factors that has very little to do with financial returns and dividend yields. People buy SME’s for a multitude of reasons which might be lifestyle change, providing job security, creating a job for a family member, pursuing a dream. How do you put a value on these variables? The Market Valuation Methodology utilises the data available on similar business, either mandates for a sale or businesses sold in the immediate past. These variables have already been accounted for by buyers and their motives regardless of what they are. Placing a similar business on the market will be influenced by the same forces, hence automatic correction of the price and offering will be the outcome for a transaction to be concluded. Comparing the business with this data therefore is the fundamental principle to factor in the intangible variables that drives SME pricing.

Visit The Business and Meet Owner

"Good Formula's and Statistics Never Replace Common Sense!"

Visiting the business to determine all the relevant factors specific to the business, as each business are unique and these factors need to be incorporated into the business valuation is a crucial step. Every owner knows and understand his or her business and a meeting with them shed light on the business and its current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We incorporate all of this information into our business valuation.
