Factors Impacting Valuation
Valuation is a major issue in selling your business.
Here are some key factors impacting the price:
The size of the company buying your business — the bigger the company, the higher the potential price.
Demand for your company — the more buyers in the mix, the higher the valuation.
Form of payment — taking stock will typically generate a higher selling price.
Earnouts — the use of earnouts can increase the valuation.
Competitive advantages — the more advantages your business has, the higher the price.
Current economy — the stronger the current economy and market, the higher the price.
Target use of the company — the higher the value of the combined company, the higher the buying price.
Past valuations — the higher the valuation from previous funding rounds often results in a higher buying price.
Relationships — the stronger the relationship with the buying team, the higher the price in some cases.
Consider these factors in preparing your business to sell.
