You May Be Surprised by The True Value of Your Business!

You May Be Surprised by The True Value of Your Business!
January 24, 2020 Toohey Reid

We were recently asked to provide a valuation on a business as one of the partners was being bought out. The partners had their own opinion that the business value was in the range of $1,000,000 as a rounded figure. We performed the valuation with our expert team of advisors and accounting staff utilising the proven methods and systems we have developed over our 21 years of service. With great shock to the partners, the valuation came out in the vicinity of $330,000.


The main contributing factors to the lesser value were as follows:

    1. Last 3 years of trading had seen a decline in sales.
    2. Increase in trade debtors and WIP.
    3. Eligibility of long service leave of staff.
    4. Level of Div 7a loans creating poor, free cash flow.

The results are formulated through our process and utilisation of the Risk and Value Driver Assessment (RAVDA). This was completed by each partner and an aggregate score given which then provides a scorecard to see what areas the business is deficient in.

The partners have now asked our team to provide advice on how they can improve the value within a relatively short period of time and we have the answers.

Valuating business may be required for a number of reasons.

    1. Sale
    2. Retirement
    3. Succession
    4. Partner buy out
