Valuation techniques • Most common method: compare valuation ratio with a comparable public company… • A good one is Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio • Discounted multiple of current revenue • Book value (total assets – (intangible assets (patents, goodwill) +liabilities)) • Revenue over a certain period • Discounted cash flow (beyond our scope) http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/how-much-is-your-small-business-worth-1.1000112
Factors that can affect your valuation/stock price • news releases on earnings and profits, and future estimated earnings • announcement of dividends • introduction of a new product or a product recall • securing a new large contract • employee layoffs • anticipated takeover or merger • a change of management • accounting errors or scandals

Government programs (2) • Government Grants and Financing • Grants, contributions and financial assistance • Loans and cash advances • Loan guarantees • Tax refunds and credits • Wage subsidies • Equity investing • * for all of these, ensure your Business Plan is up to date and solid!
Implications of private vs public ownership • Financial reporting • Public = separate entity, private = part of your entity • taxes
Selling your business • If you are selling your business or part of your business, you generally set an amount for the entire business. • This amount will be based on the value of each asset, the value of inventory held, and goodwill • In some cases, your sales agreement sets out a price for each asset, a value for the inventory of the company and, if applicable, an amount that can be attributed to goodwill. • Depending on your situation, you may have a recapture or a terminal loss of capital cost allowance (CCA) on the sale of your assets. • http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/lf-vnts/sllng/menu-eng.html • http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/lf-vnts/sllng/sllng-eng.html
Selling your business (2) • Tip: sell the business when the time/reason is right (don’t sell when its going downhill) • Identify what is going to be sold (physical assets/goodwill/trademarks/client lists/existing contracts/etc) • Get help with this part by a trained professional • Make sure everything is in order (you want to show your business well)
