Business valuation

Every owner should know what their business is worth.

Selling a business without knowing its true value leads to missed opportunities. We believe every owner deserves an accurate range of value for their company — whether they plan to run it for another decade or take it to market this year.

Advisors reviewing valuation figures for a Toronto business

A valuation is not a rule of thumb applied to last year's revenue. It is a defensible range built from your financial performance, current market conditions and what buyers in your sector are actually paying right now.

With an expert valuation you gain clarity, leverage and the confidence to move forward — in a sale, a partner buyout, succession planning, financing or simply knowing where you stand.

What the valuation covers

Six things we put a number on.

Financial performance analysis

Three to five years of statements recast to show true owner earnings, add-backs, normalized wages and one-time items.

Industry benchmarking

Your multiples compared against recent comparable transactions in the same sector and size band across Ontario.

Key value drivers

The strengths a buyer will pay a premium for — recurring contracts, customer diversity, documented systems, a management team that stays.

Risk and discount factors

Customer concentration, owner dependence, lease terms, licensing and deferred capital spending, each priced into the range.

Deal structure implications

How asset versus share sale, earn-outs and vendor take-backs change what actually lands in your pocket after tax.

Lender and buyer readiness

What a bank or acquirer will question first, and what to clean up before they ask.

Start with an assessment

Send us the last three years of financial statements and we will come back with an indicative range, the assumptions behind it and the two or three items that would move the number most. Everything stays confidential, and there is no obligation to list.
