The value of a business or company is determined by a number of factors, which are: performance, stage of growth<\/a>, technology, revenue, and profit. It also comes across the societal impact of the business on the location or community in which it is situated. As a business owner or entrepreneur, understanding the value of your company would aid you in so many ways, most especially when you need to sell a portion or want to borrow money for expansion purposes. In this post, we discussed using the formula, how you can value your business or company based on revenue and profit<\/p> When valuing a company based on profit and revenue, you add your totals before deducting operating expenditures and multiplying the result by an industry multiple. Your business multiple is an average of what firms in your industry often sell for, so if your multiple is two, companies typically value twice their yearly profit and revenue.<\/p> Most analysts believe that the first step in evaluating or valuing a business is to normalize or recast its earnings to obtain a figure known as the seller’s dis\u0441r\u0435t\u043en\u0430r\u0443 earnings (SDE). The SDE is your company’s pretax income before non-cash expenses, owner’s compensation, interest expense, and income that isn’t likely to be repeated in the future.<\/p> Wh\u0443 S\u0435ll\u0435r’\u0455 D\u0456\u0455\u0441r\u0435t\u0456\u043en\u0430r\u0443 E\u0430rn\u0456ng\u0455 Are Important<\/strong><\/p> SDE \u0441\u0430l\u0441ul\u0430t\u0435\u0455 wh\u0430t th\u0435 bu\u0455\u0456n\u0435\u0455\u0455’ earnings w\u043euld b\u0435 w\u0456th a new bu\u0443\u0435r to g\u0456v\u0435 you a \u0441l\u0435\u0430r\u0435r picture of th\u0435 business’ genuine \u0440r\u043ef\u0456t \u0440\u043et\u0435nt\u0456\u0430l.
