Valuation Approaches and Methods.
Recognising the purpose behind seeking a valuation is crucial for obtaining accurate insights and interpreting them effectively.
Broadly, there are three approaches to business valuation. Each needs to be consider before selecting an approach and a method within that approach to apply to the results of investigations made.
The selection of an approach and method will have a bearing on the valuation outcome. Knowledge, skill and experience are key features needed to select the right approach and method to apply to the work in a Business Valuation Report.
We have seen many instances where unrecognised methods are used, often resulting in a completely misleading result.
Valuations play a pivotal role in various scenarios such as Family Law proceedings, Mergers and Acquisitions, Business Restructuring, Buyouts, or when preparing to sell a business.
Through a formal, independent, and documented valuation process, businesses can enhance strategic planning and facilitate informed decision-making.
Unveiling the True Value of Your Business:
There are hundreds of factors considered during a comprehensive business valuation – both Financial and Non-financial. Our Due Diligence document is quite large, and you should avoid cursory guesstimates by well-meaning but uninformed persons.
Depending upon the purpose, Our Valuer can apply different valuation approaches and methods; their significance will be explained by our Negotia Business Valuers and they will be in a position to defend and explain how they got to the number and what evidence they relied upon.
Understanding and explaining how present market conditions and industry trends influence business value, and providing examples is included in the tasks of our valuers.

In our view, if the physical nature and environment of a business is not investigated, then the business risks associated with its future earnings / profits cannot be properly assessed and an incorrect value for the business is most likely.
An investigation into the physical nature and environment of the business includes;
- An investigation into the financial records and its performance;
- An investigation into the business sales market place for evidence of market activity and completed sales; and
- Selecting and applying a valuation approach and method to the results of those investigations.
Investigating the Physical Nature and Environment of a Business.
The physical nature and environment investigation should look into these broad areas:
- Its industry, economy and location.
- Its premises, plant & equipment, products, customers, suppliers and competition at least.
- Its management structure, strategies, controls, systems and processes.
All enterprises confront risks to their future, causing that future to differ from its past. Businesses may appear to be similar. However, businesses have diverse strengths and weaknesses, and confront opportunities and threats differently. They may (or may not) have in place strategies and activities that maximise future prospects, minimising weaknesses and threats. Future profits are impacted, as is business value.
Investigating the physical nature and environment of a business really demands that a Business Valuer inspects the business operation. In our view, a business valuation report that does not reflect the fact that the Business Valuer has inspected the business is materially deficient. Only in extenuating circumstances and with specific instructions from a client would a Business Valuer not physically inspect a business operation and its premises. Fundamentally, we believe that it is very difficult to value a business when haven’t physically seen it.
Investigating Market Information.
Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) businesses are influenced by the personal preferences of owners. The selection of ownership entity, financial recording, reporting and business practices mean that SME business information and data can vary widely in terms of verifiability, quality and quantity. There are hundreds of business categories, with varying sizes, cultures and record keeping practices.
Experience in, and data from, SME businesses is essential to bring the ‘real-world’ into assessing business value. Too many times, we see ‘arm-chair’ theoretical business valuation reports produced without any market evidence to support the conclusions of business value.
We are Business Brokers as well as Business Valuers. We are well aware of what business buyers will pay for a business opportunity and what business sellers will accept. We believe market evidence is essential to support the conclusions of business value made in Business Valuation Reports.
Decision is Important Choice.
Business Valuation Reports that are going to be relied upon for important decisions, particularly those decisions that will impact financial position(s) or acquire financial liability need careful consideration in our view. Business valuation work is demanding and time-consuming if accurate, credible and reliable Business Valuation Reports fit for the purpose they are intended are to be delivered. The choice of Business Valuer and the Business Valuation Report is important. Parties should make themselves informed and choose carefully.
