The Business Valuation Model is Excel based software designed to provide an economical, efficient and effective business valuation. It combines relative indicators for future performance with basic financial data (Revenue, Variable and Fixed Costs) to value a business.
By uniquely applying your intuitive business and market knowledge a 3 year performance forecast with sensitivity analysis, investment return, and a business valuation is calculated. It is compact, easy to use, and requires minimal inputs.
Input should be based on your subjective views. These are translated into quantifiable values for model operation. There is no need to provide 'perfect' answers. Use your industry knowledge to make informed estimates. The goal is to provide a streamline tool to indicate possible outcomes.
Outputs include a 3 year performance forecast with the ability to apply Sensitivity Analysis and produce Optimistic, Expected and Pessimistic forecasts. A Return on Investment and Business Valuation are provided for each forecast. Outputs are presented in tabular and graphical form.
This valuation method can be used for business purchase, sale, or establishment. Unlike many valuation methods The Business Valuation Model minimizes input requirements and focuses on determining the future value of any business. By building a forecast based on the internal and external factors affecting business performance it is possible to build investment return projections.
In reality a business is simply an investment medium and its value is determined by the future returns it offers. Being able to identify the factors that provide an opportunity to maximize these returns generates a solid base for both setting a valuation and developing plans to enhance business performance.
Existing and potential business owners who appreciate current business investment values can make informed decisions and maximize opportunities when they arise.
