Business Valuation Methods

When it comes to valuing your company, there are a variety of potential methods you can choose to use. From valuing business assets, looking around at other values in your industry, checking business earnings, it’s important that you utilise the most appropriate option for your business. You can also use multiple methods to gain the clearest understanding possible.

Future earnings methodology is a way to calculate business value based primarily on the idea that the present value of your company should be, at least in part, based on its ability to generate earnings in the future — that the future value of the business should have some influence on its current value.

Another commonly used valuation method, particularly by business owners operating in traditional or more popular industries. The Market Value method requires you to take a look outside of your company, at other similar businesses operating in your field. Although quite vague, it can act as a guide to determining how much your firm could be worth.

Primarily used to value a minority stake in a company rather than the business as a whole, this method is based around the idea that, for a minority shareholder, their investment — and ultimately the value of the company to them in this instance — stems from their dividend.
