3 simple methods for business valuation

Whether you're planning to sell your business or take a loan, or to attract new potential finances and investors, and up to date business valuation is a must have. Simply just knowing the value of your business can help you proper manage your business and evaluate your position.

Here are three simple ways to determine your business' true value.

1.      Focusing on Assets of a business:  This is by far the simplest valuation method, simply add up all your investments and subtract all the liabilities. You can also do your business valuation on basis of liquidation asset-based approach. In the liquidation asset-based approach you simply have to determine net cash received if all your assets were to be sold.

This is one of the best ways to evaluate the present gross value of a company or a business. Especially useful when you are trying to sell your business or get a business loan.

2.      Focusing on Market Values:  This approach focuses on determining the value of a business by comparing it with similar businesses in the market which were either evaluated or sold recently. This method works for most small and medium-size businesses as there are hundreds of other businesses to compare to. But if your business doesn't have comparable businesses in the market, then determining the true value of your business by this method can be difficult.

Also for an individual, using this method can be a cumbersome task. Focusing only on current market values may under-estimate your business value. Especially if you are just starting out or planning to expand in near future. This method is best used by professional evaluators.

3.      Focusing on Future Earning Values:  This approach is by far the most popular method for business valuation. This method revolves around the idea that true value of any business is determined by its capacity to generate wealth in near future. This method is very popular among investors and shareholders as they always value future returns on their investments.

Using companies past earnings and current growth rate, you can easily determine future revenues of a company. Normalise the assumption for unusual expense or revenue and add in the risk factor to get a complete learning value based business valuation.

The best choice: Apart from these methods, there are number of other methods to evaluate your business. But the best way to find the true value of your business is through a combination of all three. Combining two or more methods together will give you the best selling price. These business valuation methods will also plan, strategize and expand your business as well as attract more shareholders and investors.
