Step Two is the Market Compass Valuation.
The Market Compass gives the small business owner a high quality valuation for planning purposes at a low cost. This valuation is based on a study of market transactions of comparable companies in your industry.
This method is often called the comparative transaction method. It is also sometimes called the “market approach” because the transactions used as the valuation basis come from the “market”. That market is where willing buyers and sellers, each looking out for their own self-interest, exchange property at a negotiated price.
Our Market Compass small business valuation features:
· A range of value using results from different market valuation techniques.
· A report that includes a brief analysis of the economy and your company’s industry.
· A financial analysis that compares your company to industry averages.
· Value Direction chart presents the pricing trends of businesses in your industry
· Comparative performance analysis against industry standards on key ratios.
For an added fee, we can present more detailed information on the specific companies that compromise the valuation market multiples used in the analysis.
To begin a Market Compass Valuation we will request some information about your company, including financial statements. We may request a short telephone interview so we can better understand your company’s business.
You get all of the above for much less what a Valuation Review or Certified Valuation would cost.
