🤔 Do you know what your business is worth? A third of business in the UK and about 40% of European business owners are unaware of their company's valuation. Why it matters? Having a good understanding of value and what drives and detracts from it, is not only essential at the time of raising investment for growth or selling your business. It is key from the very beginning, to help ensure your business is growing and evolving in the right direction. Added to this, and despite market challenges, most expect the market conditions to improve. In fact, 75% of SME leaders anticipate an increase in business value over the next year. This will only happen if you have a good understanding of what your current value is and how to improve it. At Vivero, we work closely with businesses to identify opportunities for innovation and growth, simplify the complexities of funding, and provide access to our extensive investor and buyer network, guiding you in realising the true equity value of your business. https://lnkd.in/etCH6jyH #BusinessValue #ExitStrategy #BusinessGrowth

Business Valuations, why do you need them? 1. Court ordered 2. Selling your business 3. Tracking your progress 4. Giving shares to employees Each valuation is different, how could that be? 1. The court has standard in which you must follow to work out the value of your business. 2. If you're an SME you're going to use a formula that is best fitting for your industry and market (Assest based, Income based, Market based). 3. When it comes to tracking your business success the valuations that are used might be an estimate and not a reliable for other purposes. However, it gives you a great idea of what how you can improve your business to increase its worth (money well spent). 4. Equity for employees in SMEs, you will need a proper valuation such as one listed below, and it needs to be done every time you offer equity (if you need help with this DM me!). 5. Equity for employees in startups, if you qualify for a start-up plan you use a net asset valuation (safe-harbour method) to determine the price of your exercise price for options or share price for restricted shares. So, with this knowledge, which valuation do you think you need, and which do you think is most useful? Want to add something I missed?
