Beyond Simple Multiples
As we explain in our valuation insights article, generic "4-6x EBITDA" figures miss everything that actually drives value. Two businesses with identical financials can be worth vastly different amounts depending on risk factors, revenue quality, owner dependency, and strategic positioning.
We provide sophisticated valuation that goes beyond industry averages—examining your specific value drivers and risk factors to determine what buyers would actually pay for your business.
Whether you're planning succession, preparing for exit, evaluating acquisition targets, or responding to unsolicited interest, you need accurate valuation grounded in market reality.
When You Need This
✓ Succession Planning & Exit Preparation
Understand your business worth years before transition. Valuation for estate planning, succession to family/management, or external sale. Structure ownership transfer for maximum value and tax efficiency.
✓ Evaluating Tuck-In Acquisitions
Thorough due diligence and valuation of acquisition targets. Business case development, integration planning, and synergy analysis for bolt-on growth.
✓ Strategic Planning & Investment
Accurate business valuation informs capital allocation, investor relations, and strategic decision-making.
✓ Responding to Unsolicited Interest
When someone approaches you about selling, know your true value before engaging in discussions.
Our Approach
We follow the rigorous methodology outlined in our valuation article:
- Quality of Earnings Analysis — We normalise your financials to show what a buyer would actually earn. Addbacks, adjustments, and run-rate calculations that reveal true sustainable earnings.
