The best time to get a valuation is before you need to negotiate.
Once you're sitting across the table from an investor, buyer, or seller, your leverage depends on how well you understand the numbers.
A professional valuation can help you answer:
→ What is the business realistically worth?
→ What is driving that value?
→ Which assumptions are too aggressive?
→ What valuation range is defensible?
→ How does the value change under different scenarios?
I build valuations using:
DCF & intrinsic value
Comparable company analysis
Financial modeling & forecasting
Free cash flow analysis
ROIC & reinvestment analysis
WACC & terminal value
Scenario & sensitivity analysis
Whether you're preparing for fundraising, an acquisition, an exit, an equity negotiation, or an investment decision, the valuation should come before the negotiation—not after it.

Know your number before someone else tells you what it's worth.

Episode 3 of my series: Your numbers should make sense.
If you're a founder, check these 5 numbers every month:
1️⃣ Cash in the bank: what you can actually spend today, not your profit.
2️⃣ Monthly burn and runway: how many months until you hit zero.
3️⃣ Gross margin: what's left of each dirham after direct costs. If it's shrinking, growth won't save you.
4️⃣ Money owed to you: unpaid invoices and how old they are. Profit on paper doesn't pay salaries.
5️⃣ Tax you haven't set aside: VAT collected isn't your money, and corporate tax is building on your profit. Know the number before the deadline does.
If your monthly numbers don't tell a clear story, that's not a finance problem. It's a visibility problem, and it's fixable.
Which of these five do you check the least? Tell me in the comments.

That's unbelievable bro keep going 🔥🔥🔥
after presenting more brand directions than I can count, one thing I’ve learned: I never jump straight into showing the visuals.
first I want to establish what we're actually trying to solve.
what we heard from the client. what they want to be known for. where they sit in the market. what needs to feel different.
then the big idea, and how it translates into type, colour, imagery and graphic elements.
only then the designs.
context changes how you judge the work.
