You will never find an easier way to get the focus ... you want and need!  This on-target, fast-paced, course directly answers the key questions, every business owner develops as they carefully address the value of their business.

There are some shocking statistics that business owners do not often think about! Studies show that over 50% of business owners do not know the value of their business and 90% of business owners do not formally or informally manage the value of their business. They often wait until it is too late to impact the value of their business and are disappointed in their transaction results. Invest a little bit of time now and avoid the regrets that too many business owners experience.

Since most business owners have over 85% of their net worth tied up in their business it is clearly important to become familiar with the foundation principles of value determination and to learn how to make them work for you. This course does just that! It provides the required new knowledge and gives you the basic tools to put that knowledge to work for you in your business.

Your familiarity with valuation analysis and the underlying procedures can be used to develop your business so it is easier to manage “today” and is positioned to increase in value “tomorrow”. You will learn how your management team members can apply the powerful principles in the "Gordon Growth Model" to increase the value of your business. By learning how to manage with more confidence and less stress business owners will find it easier to reach their personal financial goals.

This course is not intended to “make you a trained business valuator”. Rather the sessions and the related materials provided will give you the understanding to communicate more effectively with your advisors and to focus on the business drivers and related trends that ultimately will control the value of your business. A systematic approach to how you improve the value of your business will make a massive financial difference. The basic valuation knowledge in this course will position you to take the steps to do exactly that for you and your family.
