Before you buy, sell, or invest in a business, answer one question:
What is it actually worth?
Not what the seller wants.
Not what the market is excited about.
Not what a competitor sold for.
What are the underlying cash flows worth?
That's where professional valuation matters.
I analyze the key drivers of value:
→ Revenue growth and quality → Sustainable margins → Free cash flow generation → ROIC and reinvestment → Capital structure and risk → WACC → Terminal value → Comparable company multiples
Then I use multiple valuation methods to build a defensible valuation range rather than relying on a single assumption.
The result is a clear financial framework you can use to:
📌 Negotiate an acquisition 📌 Set a fundraising valuation 📌 Evaluate an investment 📌 Prepare for an exit 📌 Understand the intrinsic value of your business
The price is what someone is willing to pay. Value is what the economics justify.
Don't make a major financial decision without understanding the difference.
