A
proper business evaluation will take several visits and meetings. While
financial statements can provide some insight into the health of a company,
Redtail Advisors go much deeper. The first task is to determine exactly why we
are evaluating the business, as this can affect a valuation. This is another
reason that we need a detailed goal and objectives analysis - the business
valuation should fit your particular exit strategy.
Using
our proprietary
tools, we
will analyze the culture of the company, and how your employees, managers,
customers and vendors feel about things. How your company is perceived by the
people who play a large part in its success can have a strong effect on final
value.
Key performance metrics are analyzed
and compared to best practices. They are also compared to peers and
competitors in your particular industry and location. Not all of these metrics
are strictly financial.
Depending
on the type of business you run, a complete and comprehensive analysis will be
made on all key metrics affecting the company. From there a picture of the
business will develop, with grades given on each aspect of the company. This
provides management with an insight into what activities will best contribute to
an overall increase in business value.
These
evaluations continue on a regular basis throughout your exit planning process.
