Business Valuation

Overview

The Business Valuation feature on the Xenon Connect allows you to keep track of the potential value of the business.

A business valuation is provided for each of the previous 6 months, based upon your choice of valuation model.

• Average Annual Sales (Last 24 Months) – Calculated as the sum of Sales over the last 24 months / 2

And then apply a multiple of… If you determine that your business has a valuation multiple of 3, for example, then you can enter “3” here. The multiplier value is applied to the valuation model chosen (e.g. based upon Sales, Net Profit or Net Assets).
