Maximising Value
Don't Miss Out!
Whilst there are a number of different ways in which businesses can be valued, at the SME level they are usually sold on a multiple of annual operating profit. In order therefore to maximise the sale value of a business it is necessary to both maximise the operating profit and to maximise the multiplyer factor.
Our extensive business experience is supplemented by tried and tested Success Strategies which are designed to boost your business by:
Devising and implementing a 12 month Business PlanGenerating More Customers. Gaining Larger Sales, Repeat Sales and Customer Loyalty. Maximising Your Margins and Profitability. Reducing Your OverheadsThe multiplyer factor depends of the attractiveness of a business to an investor and can vary between one and ten times profit, a figure of between 2 and 5 being more usual. We can help you improve this figure by
Tidying up your business physically, logistically and financiallySystemising your business - putting plans policies and procedures in place.Making sure it can run itself on a day to day basis without your personal attention.Ensuring staff have proper job descriptions and contracts - tying them in to the businessPutting in place a continuing business plan to operate even after the change in ownnership.How we operate:
Depending on size/complexity, we work very intensively with our clients in the first few months to ensure we fully understand the business and the opportunities - beginning with a confidential business audit that is conducted with key management team members. We will conduct interviews with staff, conduct surveys with customers (past and present), key suppliers, carry out market research and conduct workshops; all aimed to get an unbiased, informed view to base our recommendations upon.
In this first stage, we will also be on the look out for hidden assets/opportunities that can immediately be put into action to bring increased sales and profits.
Collaboratively, we will build an agreed action plan aimed at systematically growing the business and improving its value over the following 12 months.
We will then adapt our role to that of project leader, coach and mentor – to support (and drive) the business to put into place these actions and processes to grow the business. We will ensure that they become ingrained in the business culture and systems, leaving a highly efficient and effective business structure which will carry on long after the business is sold!
