10 Great Reasons To Take The Value Gap Assessment
Our Value Gap Assessment is designed to help you identify and close the gap between
your current business valuation and its maximum potential value.
Here are 10 good reasons to do it today.
It takes 15 minutes, is self-guided, and you don't have to talk with anyone:
1. Identifies the Profit Gap
It highlights inefficiencies in profitability by benchmarking your business against industry averages. It calculates the “profit gap”-the proving difference between your current profitability and what you could achieve at maximum efficiency.
2. Highlights Areas for Cost Optimization
Pinpoints areas where costs have grown disproportionately or are higher than industry norms, such as wages, overheads, or production costs.
3. Benchmarks Performance against Competitors
By comparing key metrics like cost of goods sold (COGS), employee productivity, and asset turnover with competitors, the assessment provides actionable insights for improvement.
4. Enhances Buyer Attractiveness
Evaluates non-financial factors such as governance, management quality, and operational readiness. Improving these areas reduces risk and increases buyer confidence.
5. Provides a Clear Roadmap for Value Growth
Generates an implementation plan that prioritizes actions to close gaps and maximize value, focusing on 3-5 key drivers rather than overwhelming owners with numerous tasks.
6. Quantifies Future Value Potential
Using tools like the Value Potential Index (VPI), the assessment projects future valuations based on when implementing recommended changes. This dynamic revaluation tracks progress and ensures accountability.
7. Improves Exit Readiness
Evaluates the business’s readiness for a sale or succession by addressing risks like key-person dependency, outdated structures, or lack of documentation.
8. Reduces Risk Perception
By addressing financial and operational risks, such as high debt levels or poor cash flow management, the assessment lowers perceived risk for buyers and investors.
9. Builds Confidence Through Data Transparency
Provides detailed insights into financial and non- financial performance, giving business owners clarity on their strengths and weaknesses while building credibility with buyers.
10. Supports Strategic Exit Planning
Identifies opportunities to position your business for a strategic exit, where buyers pay a premium due to synergies or unique assets.
