Even if you are not looking to sell part or all of your business, how many times did you wonder to yourself how much your business is really worth? What is the maximum price you are willing to pay when negotiating the purchase of a business? Unlike a public listed Business, whose value is constantly available at the click of a button, a private business' value is dependant on various factors that are not easily quantifiable. A business is worth only as much as a buyer is ready to pay for it.

So what is the need for a business valuation?

Knowing how much your business is worth is also fundamental in planning further growth of the business, enabling you to have a more specific idea of capital that can be raised through loans or issue of equity, to finance these growth plans.

A Business Valuation is not an exact science. Depending on what the valuation is required for, different techniques need to be used to arrive at an appropriate valuation. There are various different needs for a valuation to be carried out, main ones being:

1. To Buy a business:
2. To Sell a business:
3. To buy out a partner:
4. To enter into a Joint Venture
5. To obtain finance

These are discussed in more detail on their relevant pages.
