Key Points by John Cameron
Lessons learned from COVID-19:
You can get by with less overhead and people than you thought you could.
Companies found different sources of revenues.
Simple Valuation Formula:
Value = Assets + (Profits x Multiple)
The asset value you have on the books isn’t what the assets are really worth.
Book value of assets vs. resale value of assets
If profits are nil, the value of the business = the value of the assets (unless it’s a strategic buyer).
The multiple is the degree of certainty that profits will continue into the future.
4 ways to transition your business:
Sale to a third party
Transition or sale to family
Sale to management/employees
Liquidation
To maximize the value of your business it takes time and effort. The benefits can be massive.
Example: a business with $5 million in sales improves its margin by 3%. That’s $150,000 per year in additional profits. But on a multiple basis, that’s an increase of $750,000 in company value.
