You’ve put time, energy and money into building your business. But what might someone else be willing to pay for it, and what could you improve today to make it more valuable?

How to work out sustainable earnings, including a realistic cost for replacing your own work.
How different valuation methods work and where their limitations lie.
Why business value and the amount shareholders receive can differ.
How client concentration, recurring revenue and dependence on the founder affect value.
What to prioritise over the next 90 days to strengthen your business.
Follow worked examples of an agency and a solo consultant, then use the workbooks to organise your own figures and assumptions.
