Hi, James Graham, a director with MarshBerry out of our California office specializing in mergers and acquisitions.
If you’re a business owner, you should be aware that understanding the value of your business is critical to making informed decisions whether it’s planning for growth, optimizing your strategy, or preparing for a transaction. However, business valuation is more than just plugging numbers into a formula. It is easy to talk about cap rates, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) multiples and other usual financial metrics, and while these are useful, they’re just a starting point. The fundamental insight lies in understanding the variables behind the key inputs such as expected cash flow, organic and inorganic growth, and risk, and how they’re unique to your business. At MarshBerry, we believe that a proper valuation isn’t just a calculation or a result, it’s a strategic tool. Moreover, optimizing the business’s value drivers and positioning makes all the difference. In doing so, we help our clients unlock their business’s value and position them for success whether they’re navigating current growth strategies, raising debt or equity capital, or securing favorable terms in a transaction.
