Business Valuation Advisory
Most founders do not know what their business is worth — until they are sitting across from someone who does. By then, it is too late to change the number.
Business valuation advisory is the rigorous, evidence-based assessment of what your business is worth — whether you are preparing for sale, raising investment, negotiating a partnership, resolving a shareholder dispute, or simply planning for the future. We model the valuation using multiple methodologies, identify the drivers that most influence the number, and advise on how to maximise it before you enter any value-defining conversation.
The Pain We Solve
You may recognise yourself in one of these.
Three audience scenarios · because the same service produces a different transformation depending on where you are in the business journey.
Scenario 1
The founder approaching an exit without knowing their valuation
You are preparing to sell or bring in investment but you have never had an independent valuation. Every conversation about enterprise value puts you at a disadvantage because the buyer knows what the number should be and you are guessing.
Scenario 2
The business owner in a shareholder dispute where valuation is contested
A shareholder wants out or a dispute has forced the question of what each person's stake is worth. Without an independent, defensible valuation, the disagreement becomes personal and expensive.
Scenario 3
The leadership team planning for long-term growth without a baseline to measure from
The business is growing but there is no clarity on what that growth is translating into in enterprise value. Decisions about investment, acquisition, and exit timing are being made without knowing the value they are trying to build.
The Impact It Creates

Why We Price This Way
Every engagement is sized around the value we believe we can create with you. The fee is always a fraction of the outcome · typically 10 – 20% of the expected first-year return.
This is how we make sure pricing aligns with results. The conversation is never “what does this cost?” · it is always “what is this worth to your business?” We answer that together in the first call, transparently, and decide the right tier from there.
If we cannot articulate a credible 5–10× return for your specific situation, we will tell you in the first call. That honesty is part of why our clients trust us with the work that matters most.
Why This Conversation Matters
“The founders who get the best outcomes from exits and investment rounds are not the luckiest ones — they are the most prepared. Knowing your number, knowing what drives it, and knowing how to defend it is preparation. We provide all three.”
A 90-minute structured strategy session · produces a usable roadmap whether you engage further or not.
