But when it comes to retirement, bringing in shareholders, or planning an exit, a rough estimate isn’t enough. It creates risk, weakens your position, and can cost you significantly in negotiations.
This session gives you a clear, evidence-based valuation you can rely on.
If you ever plan to sell, raise investment, or step back from the business, your valuation will be challenged.
Buyers and investors will test your numbers, question your assumptions, and carry out detailed due diligence. If your valuation doesn’t stand up, the deal won’t either.
Getting this right early gives you clarity, confidence, and control
We don’t rely on a single formula or headline multiple.
Instead, we use a structured, multi-method approach to reflect how your business would actually be assessed in the market.
This typically includes:
We establish your sustainable annual profit by calculating your Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) and adjusting for one-off costs or owner-managed expenses. This reveals the “normalised” earning power of the business that a buyer actually cares about.
We apply market-based EBITDA multiples aligned to your specific sector and current UK conditions. This reflects how corporate or trade buyers realistically assess value in the current market.
For asset-heavy businesses (like haulage or construction), we may focus on Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) to ensure your heavy capital investment and depreciation are accurately reflected. We provide a realistic view of your net asset position, including property, stock, and working capital.
We consider the transaction from a buyer’s perspective. What level of return could they expect, and how does that influence what they would realistically pay in the current climate?
Understanding the “why” behind EBITDA and EBIT is the first step to increasing your business’s worth. For a clear breakdown of the formulas and how they apply to your sector, read our article:
How to maximise the value of your business with EBITDA
A valuation is more than a figure on a page. It shows you where you are today and what’s holding you back.
We look at the gap between your current value and what your business could be worth with the right changes.
That means identifying where risk is reducing value, and where practical improvements like stronger gross profit or more reliable, diversified income can make a real difference to your eventual exit position.
This is a detailed advisory piece of work, not a quick estimate.
You’ll come away with a clear understanding of both your current position and your options.
