Opinion of Value Report

GLM can provide an Opinion of Value of your business. This is based on information provided in your last three years Financial Statement, we can then estimate the Value of Your business.

There are a number of different methods that can be used to place an estimated value on a business. Different methods can yield different results. In fact, even the same method can yield varied results because different appraisers will make different assumptions.

In valuing Your business, our GLM’s Valuation used a modified version of the classic excess earnings method of valuation. We know from experience that this method offers a good estimate of value for small businesses.
In its simplest form, the method for excess earnings method of valuation makes use of the following items:

• Fair market value of the assets owned by the business less any debts owed by the business
• REAL income being earned by the owner(s) of the business (including items such as excess salary, profit, dividends, and business paid expenses that are not essential to business operations). 
• An earnings multiplier- The methods used for calculating the real owner income and for the appropriate earnings multiplier are detailed within the report.

This method, when used properly, is able to predict the range of prices at which a business is likely to be sold. 
 
GLM’s Valuation uses the following elements in arriving at our estimate:

• 2020 profitability
• Company assets
• Type of business
• Business longevity
• Competitive environment
• Customer concentration
• Vendor concentration
• Geographic location
• Profitability trend
