Building Business Value
Most business owners have invested years building something significant. Few know what it is actually worth or what is quietly holding that value back.
This is a practical, eye-opening workshop that helps founders and owners understand the eight drivers that determine what a business is worth, how buyers and investors evaluate a business, and what deliberate actions can increase value over time. Whether you are thinking about a future transition, looking to scale, or simply want to run a stronger business, understanding value is one of the most important conversations you can have as an owner.
This workshop introduces the Value Builder framework and gives participants a clear picture of where their business stands and where to focus next.
By the end of this workshop participants will be able to:
- Explain the eight drivers that determine business value and how each one is assessed by buyers and investors.
- Identify which value drivers represent the greatest opportunity and the greatest risk in their own business.
- Describe the difference between a business that is dependent on its owner and one that is built to operate and grow independently.
- Apply a value-building mindset to current business decisions including hiring, systems, customer strategy, and revenue model.
- Take a meaningful next step toward understanding and improving the value of their business using the Business Value Diagnostic.
