What is your business worth?

Nick Klein
All to often we hear about clients who are relying on the value of their business to provide funding for their retirement.  This in itself is not a bad thing, but the problem lies in determining exactly what are they going to get on an eventual sale, and is it enough to do what they want to do.
 
The use of a superannuation fund, self managed or otherwise, has the benefit of being transparent in terms of what value is locked away for retirement.  The value of a business however can be a little more difficult to determine.  Unlike the investments within a superannuation fund however, you can have some control over the business value and with help, it can be altered over time.

LBW can help you do this through performing a business value analysis.  This process encompasses looking at a number of things such as reporting mechanisms, pricing, line and/or division profitability, staffing and many other key drivers within your business.

Give Nick Klein or Leigh Harry a call today so we can help you unlock more value in you business and provide you with a clearer understanding of what you will have upon retirement, or your next foray into business.
