What if the profit is not enough?

What is the formula for a business as a going concern?

If you apply the method and get a result that seems intuitively wrong, what do you do?

This week I get a question from Verasen who wonders about the result of a business value formula.

We need to take things back to basic principles in order to understand why the result is valid.

Business and Asset Values: How Owners, Buyers, Sellers, Lenders, and Advisors Should Think About Sma

What makes a business valuable? Why can a profitable company still be difficult to sell? Why can old machinery be worth more than its accounting value? Why does one business have substantial goodwill while another depends almost entirely on its physical assets? Business and Asset Values explains how value actually works inside privately held businesses. Written for business owners, entrepreneurs, investors, buyers, sellers, lenders, accountants, lawyers, advisors, and appraisers, this practical guide explores the forces that cause value to grow, weaken, transfer, or disappear. Drawing on years of experience in small-business transactions, financing, valuation, and machinery and equipment appraisal, David C. Barnett shows why value is never just a number. It is the result of cash flow, risk, market demand, asset quality, transferability, financing conditions, and the expectations of real buyers and sellers.
