Episode Takeaway: How do you value a business according to Clinton Lee 

Many business owners want to start with the value. They want to have a figure there, it makes them feel comfortable, it gives them some sort of reassurance. But I believe it’s completely the wrong thing to do.

Because what you’re coming up with is a theoretical number, and buyers don’t care about that.

  1. Your efforts should be much better directed towards information influencing the kinds of things that buyers use to come to their value decisions. What matters is how much the buyer thinks you’re worth, not how much your value or thinks you are worth. or your accountant thinks you’re worth, how much your buyer thinks.
  2. Getting the right kind of buyers, getting the strategic buyers in, or are going to compete with other buyers on the transaction.
  3. Have somebody, a broker who will manage the whole process and get build some competitive tension. So, it’s about putting effort into finding the right buyers into finding well-funded buyers, finding strategic buyers who’re going to see more value in your business than other buyers, essentially.
  4. Create the conditions for them to open up their wallets and pay you the kind of money you’d like to see. Work on that rather than on obsessing about how much your business is worth.
