Business Valuation

What is my business worth? There's no single right answer – a business is worth what a willing buyer will pay – but valuers use a handful of well-established methods to arrive at a sensible range. This workbook applies five of them to your figures. It starts by 'normalising' your historic profits so they show what a buyer would really earn (paying a manager a market salary to do your job, paying a market rent, ignoring one-offs and personal costs), then values the business on earnings, on forecast cash flows and on its assets. An equity bridge turns business value into share value, a weighted conclusion gives a low–mid–high range, sensitivity tables show what moves the value, and a final sheet estimates what you'd keep after tax on a sale of shares.
