So, you’ve come across a business that seems to tick all the boxes… but how do you know it’s primed for growth? When it comes to investing, it’s crucial to look beyond a business’s current performance and assess its future potential under your leadership. Scalability—the ability of a business to expand without being constrained by its structure or resources—is a factor you should carefully evaluate before making the transaction. There are a few steps you can take to help determine if the business you’re interested in is set up for growth.

A business valuation is a critical step to empower you to make goals for the future and set expectations for your business sale that are well-informed, realistic, and offer you the best return on your investment. Understanding the value of your business is a key first step of the sale process, whether you are looking to sell in the immediate future or to plan ahead. However, a business valuation is also an exceptional tool that could also be used as a resource for strategic planning for your business’s future, or as leverage for capital financing, and investing in securities, such as stocks or bonds.
