Calgary Businesses Don't Sell in a Bubble
Calgary 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 in Calgary 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 Calgary 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.
The Million Dollar Question (or Multi-Million),
What is My Business Worth?
Knowing what your business is worth is the key piece of information you need to complete
retirement planning, strategic planning and future divestitures or acquisitions.
We Can Answer the Question of What Your Business is Worth so you Can Plan for Your Future.
Calgary Business Valuation - It's More Than Just a Number
The first question we are asked when we meet with a business owner thinking of selling their business is, "What is My Business Worth?"
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.
How Much Is a Calgary Business Worth?
Business Valuations are based on a complex set of methodologies and industry standards as well as market indicators and the skill and experience of the business valuator.
The purpose of a business valuation is to determine what a Buyer would pay for your business in an open market. For most small business and the lower end of mid-market companies, a business valuation is based on arriving at the
Fair Market Value.
The methods above are provided in the simplest form possible. Within each method, there are many sub-categories and valuation techniques depending on the size of your business and your industry.
If your business is generating profits, there is a good chance that the primary method of valuing your business will be the Income Method, and the Market Method will be used to confirm the findings of the Income Method.
Nothing Kills a Deal Like A Bad Business Valuation.
This is true for both the Buyer and the Seller.
For the Seller:
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. So the deal is dead before it starts.
For the Buyer:
If a Business is incorrectly valued above the Fair Market Value of the business, it is unlikely that the Buyer will be able to secure the third party financing needed to complete the business purchase. In addition, any Qualified Buyer completing proper due diligence and using the expertise of an experienced business broker and accountant will quickly determine that the business is overpriced and the buyer will walk away.
