How to value a company
From annual turnover to plant and machinery, it’s easy to get tied up with physical assets when valuing a business, while the intangible (often the most valuable elements of your business) can go unaccounted for. For instance, the strength of your customer relationships, or having a skilled workforce, are valuable assets that need to be considered when valuing a business.

There are a number of intangible assets that can increase your business’ value…
- Financial performance and forecasted sales
- Strength of brand
- Existing customer base
- Experienced management team
- Strong supply chain
