The Value Builder System™ is a statistically proven methodology designed to improve the value of a privately held business.
At the core of the system is The Value Builder Score™, an evaluation system driven by an algorithm that evaluates a business on the eight core value drivers acquirers take into consideration when buying companies. The Value Builder Score™ gives a comprehensive assessment of the “Sellability” of your business, whether you want to sell next year or just to know that you’re building a valuable asset for the future.
After analyzing more than 320,000+ businesses, analysts at The Value Builder System™ have discovered that companies with a Value Builder Score of 80+ received offers that are 71% higher than the average-scoring business. The Value Builder System™ is available exclusively through an experienced and authorized group of advisors, known as Certified Value Builders™, located across the globe.
The Value Builder Process
Measure
You complete a 13 minute questionnaire to determine your Value Builder Score.
Assess
We walk through your score and consider the 8 drivers that make up your business assessment. A custom report is generated specifically for your business.
Advise
Once you have your report and a foundation understanding of the position of your business, we work with you to create a plan to grow the value of of your business.
Does Size Matter?
If you’re like a lot of entrepreneurs, you assume the value of your company will be determined by your industry and its size. While size matters, there are actually seven other factors that impact the value of your company more than your industry. In fact, after analyzing more then 30,000 businesses, The Value Builder System™ has discovered getting these seven factors right can lead to acquisition offers that are more than twice the industry average. Likewise, we have seen examples of companies getting less than half the industry average multiple because of a weakness in one or more of these seven areas. To see how your company scores, you can complete the Value Builder questionnaire and get a report on how you’re doing in each area.
Exit Planning
Having an effective Succession Plan encourages the growth and sustainability of your business….
Succession Planning is a process; not an event
The earlier you start planning the greater the outcome for everyone involved
A robust Succession Plan takes a minimum of 3 – 5 years from initial planning to implementation. To extract maximum value from your business you must have one in place.
Succession Planning allows you to transition your business to new ownership in a managed and systematic way; reducing stress while achieving a greater outcome.
It’s not just about extracting maximum value from your business. If you were hit by a bus tomorrow, how seamless and pain free would the immediate transition be – both for your business and for those who rely on it?
We will work with you to develop your Succession Plan by identifying your succession options, clarifying your objectives – considering business, personal and family expectations – and defining the steps you’ll take to achieve them.
Lack of planning can cause unnecessary stress and compromise your sale price, client relationships and your overall business reputation.
Whether you want to sell, pass on to a family member or simply take a more passive role, taking time to plan now will benefit all involved.
Succession Planning is a process; not an event… the earlier you start planning the greater the outcome for everyone involved.
Benefits of Succession Planning:
- Determine what you want from your business
- Stimulate strategic discussion around ‘what if’ scenarios
- Clarify your succession process, defining tasks and actions to maximise your outcome
- Prioritise key goals and milestones
- Achieve alignment amongst owners / family members
- Develop a tool to communicate your Succession Plan with family and other key stakeholders
- We’ll act as an impartial sounding board to help you make decisions
We’ve developed this service to ensure that when you do exit you get the maximum return on the hard work and capital you’ve invested, and that the expectations of all parties are successfully met.
It’s crucial to consider Succession Planning as an important aspect of your overall business strategy that requires regular reflection and ongoing development.
Many business owners don’t recognise the importance of Succession Planning until it’s too late, resulting in a stressful journey and significantly reduced sales outcome.
