Thinking of selling your business? Do you know what it’s really worth?

Whether you are thinking of selling your business imminently, or maybe not for some years to come, it is essential that you understand how it will be valued and what enhances or detracts from its value. Knowing how much your business is really worth now will undoubtedly affect whatever exit or succession plans you have, or intend to make in the future and almost certainly their timing.

At this seminar we will explain how businesses are valued and how to identify features of a business which will be attractive to potential buyers and also those which may deter them. At the end of the seminar attendees will have an appreciation of real world business valuation principles and be better equipped to identify those factors driving and draining the value and saleability of their own company.

Watch the one minute video to find out more.

We are also running a special interest business surgery on 8th March 2012 offering company shareholders, directors and managers a one hour consultation to discuss factors relevant to the valuation of their own business. Company shareholders and directors are welcome to attend the business valuation breakfast seminar or the related surgery or both – attendance is completely free of charge.

Where and when

Consultations are with specialist lead deal advisors from Strategic Corporate Finance and take place in private meeting rooms at conveniently located hotels across the region. The first surgery following the seminar is on 8th March 2012 and is dedicated to discussing business valuations.

What is my business really worth? Free specialist consultations available

Whether you are thinking of selling your business imminently, or maybe not for some years to come, it is essential that you understand how it will be valued and what enhances or detracts from its value. Knowing how much your business is really worth now will undoubtedly affect whatever exit or succession plans you have, or intend to make in the future and almost certainly their timing.

Deal specialists from Strategic Corporate Finance are running a special interest surgery which is dedicated to business valuation. This topic is always of interest to company shareholders and directors and the surgery follows on from our related breakfast seminar on 22nd February 2012.

Strategic Corporate Finance has been involved in negotiating the price and terms on numerous transactions, building up a considerable wealth of real world valuation experience from successfully completed acquisitions and disposals. This one day surgery offers company shareholders, directors and managers a free 1.5 hours confidential consultation with a professionally qualified deal specialist, entirely dedicated to the valuation of their own business.

Each valuation consultation will entail a discussion about the business – its past and current trading, expected future prospects and a review of historic and current financial information. It is therefore important that anyone attending brings with them as much of the following financial information on their business as is available:

• Accounts for the last two completed financial years
• Latest management accounts
• Current year budget and / or financial forecasts

Unless the particular circumstances are complex, attendees will be given a verbal indication of the current market value of their business at the end of their consultation.

Company shareholders and directors are welcome to attend our business valuation breakfast seminar or the related surgery, or both – attendance is completely free of charge.

What’s really involved in a management buy-out?

There are many misconceptions surrounding management buy-outs, and we frequently meet management teams who have long considered carrying out an MBO, but without specific knowledge of how MBOs are put together and funded have not believed it to be possible.

At this seminar we will explain the key attributes required for a successful management buy-out. We will look at what makes a strong and supportable management team, how MBOs are funded, including the funds required by the MBO team personally and the success factors and risk factors underling these deals. At the end of the seminar attendees will have a clear understanding of the facets which make up a feasible and successful MBO.
