There is a misconception among the small and middle-market business community that the sole purpose of company valuation is only to sell or buy a company. On the contrary, it is mutually agreed by the corporate finance experts that company valuation must be an on-going exercise on annual basis to see how much value a company is creating year of year.
Over 14,000 middle-market businesses were sold in 2022. With 10,000 baby boomers retiring everyday, thousands of middle-market business owners are preparing to retire every year. But many do not not even realize that exit planning and M&A readiness assessment is not something that you do right before selling the business rather it takes at least couple of years of planning to maximize the value of your company and preparing your company to be acquired by a strategic buyer or a financial sponsor.
If you have not spent enough time in planning for the exit, you are definitely going to leave a lot of chips on the table. Seamlessly integrating and reconciling the numbers, streamlining the financial, analyzing your financial statements, identifying the problem areas, prioritizing them on the basis of business value perception and designing and executing an organization-wide corporate level performance improvement strategy will help you maximize the value of your business.
