Industry Valuation

To accurately value a business, it helps to know a lot about the industry in which it operates. Below are several industries for which we have authored ‘white papers’ containing key value factors and rules-of-thumb commonly used in that industry.

Bear in mind that these articles are broad by nature – as are all rules of thumb. Rules of thumb assume that, with the exception of the variable used in the formula (such as revenues, book value or cash flow), your business is identical to every one of your competitors in the industry. We bet most business owners would shudder at that thought – you’ve worked for many years to make your business the best in the business. Still, these articles should give you a deeper understanding about what drives value in your business.

If you can’t find the industry you’re looking for, you can request a Rules of Thumb Report for your particular industry or call (800) 895-4100 to speak with a valuation expert directly.
