A short YouTube video by Bob Gauvreau explaining why obtaining a business valuation is important when buying or selling a company. The speaker outlines factors used in valuations (industry, market growth, profitability, team strength, market EBITDA multiples) and argues that a comprehensive valuation protects sellers (establishes market value) and buyers (avoids overpaying and misidentifying opportunities).

So one of the main reasons that you would need a business valuation would be if you are deciding to either sell your existing business or purchase someone else's business. So a lot of times what happens when a business goes to the market is that a business valuator is brought in like our team, and we establish a fair market value assessment of what the company's worth based on a bunch of different factors. The industry, the growth of that space, the profitability of the company, the success that the business has had, the team that has been built, lots of aspects that go into this, including market trends on EBITDA multiples and so many more. So when you're looking to either buy or sell a business, bringing in a business valuator to complete a comprehensive valuation of what the business is worth is a very valuable investment, not only as a seller, to establish what the market value should be based on a reasonable market analysis, but also on a buyer side to ensure that you're not overpaying for a purchase and you're not misidentifying the opportunity that might be in front of you. So if you're looking at buying or selling a business, getting a full comprehensive business valuation report, establishing the fair market value of your business is a great investment and one that our business valuations team can support you with.
