BUSINESS VALUATION
BusinessPortal-IT provides a comprehensive, cloud based, DIY business valuation.
Reasons for doing a business valuation range from seeking a starting point for a negotiation for a business sale, ‑investment, ‑partner change or ‑merger opportunity to using the valuation as an analysis tool to see where a business could unlock value. Business valuations are often said to be subjective but they should be based on underlying business data. Subjectivity comes into play when deciding which data to include, forecasting data and making assumptions about the market and economic factors.
BusinessPortal-IT incorporates three extensive, logical and accurate business valuations based on the entered management data for business owners and ‑brokers looking to sell or seeking investment, ‑partners or ‑merger opportunities. Note that businesses can be hidden from search results by business owners or ‑brokers for 'valuation only' purposes.
