The Transaction Process
1. Assessment
The valuation process involves analyzing 3-5 years of financial statements, identifying legitimate add-backs, reviewing asset depreciation, analyzing industry trends, and applying current BC market multiples to determine the most probable selling price.
2. Execution
We compile a comprehensive report and defend the valuation during negotiations.
3. Due Diligence
We support the valuation through the buyer's financial audit.
Navigating Risks
Relying on 'rule of thumb' valuations can leave money on the table or result in an unsellable business. Undocumented add-backs and failing to account for working capital needs are common valuation errors.
