Why Get a Business Valuation in Alberta

A business valuation is often needed to get third party or bank financing to buy or grow a business.

No one wants to leave money on the table.  You have worked too hard to sell for less than its worth.

Make sure that the business you want to buy is worth what the seller is asking.

A professional business valuation gives you the upper hand in business negotiations.

Avoid the Costly Mistake of a Mis-Calculation.

A Wrong Business Valuation is a Deal Killer.
When it comes to buying or selling a business, even an honest mistake or a simple miscalculation in terms of the value of a business can derail the sale of a business.
If a Seller's business is incorrectly valued below the Fair Market Value of the business, it is unlikely that the Seller will list the business for sale as the value will likely not meet the Sellers needs in providing for retirement, buying another business, or investing activities.  or perhaps worse, an under-valued business will be sold for less than it should have been causing the Seller a significant loss of income on the sale of the business.
If a business is incorrectly valued above the Fair Market Value of the business, it is unlikely that a Buyer will be able to secure the third party financing needed to complete the transaction.  In addition, any qualified buyer who completes sufficient due diligence will quickly determine that the business is overpriced and the buyer will likely walk away from the deal wasting both the buyers and the sellers time and enery.

Business Sellers need to know what the value of their business is so they can make an informed decision if selling their business is right for them.  Business Buyers need to know what a business is worth to ensure that they don't overpay for the business, and to make sure that they can secure some level of third party financing to buy the business.

Alberta Businesses Don't Sell in a Bubble

Business Valuation is More than Numbers and Formulas.

Business sales don't happen in a bubble, so trying to determine the value of a business without considering broader factors like the state of the economy, the local market conditions, industry trends, lending rates and the other recent business sales in the same industry will likely lead to inaccurate business values.

While financials, formulas and metrics are important when determining enterprise value, they rarely tell the whole story.  So it's important to take a wholistic approach to business valuations that goes beneath and beyond the numbers of a business.

This is where our experience and expertise shine.  We take a multi-layered approach to business valuation.  And in the end, after all of the information is collected and analyzed. we run the number through our 'common sense' calculator to confirm that our conclusions are in line with everything happening the in local market and on a national scale.
