Working capital including cash reserves and debtor and creditor days.
Assets and liabilities such as property, equipment, debt, and financing costs.
Growth potential including projected revenue and EBITDA, scalability, and founder dependence.
This ensures your valuation reflects both current performance and future potential.

Business Valuations FAQs
-
Business valuation costs vary widely. Some consultants charge several thousand pounds, while others tie fees to transaction value. At Lagom Consulting, we offer a fixed fee of £2,000 + VAT. This makes the process transparent and cost-effective without sacrificing quality or independence.
-
There is no universal rule such as “3 times profit.” Valuations depend on multiple factors including sector, growth potential, recurring revenues, assets, and risks. Multiples can vary from 2x to 10x or more depending on the circumstances. Our valuation process uses recognised methodologies such as Discounted Cash Flow, Earnings Multiples, and Net Asset Value to provide a defensible and accurate range.
-
We use a structured, data-driven methodology that looks at:
· Financial performance (sales, margins, recurring revenue)
· Assets and liabilities (property, equipment, debt)
· Working capital (cash reserves, debtor and creditor days)
· Growth forecasts and market conditions
· Sector and risk factors
By combining these inputs into standard valuation models, we produce a clear, independent valuation range supported by detailed analysis. -
A valuation is an informed estimate, not a guarantee. Accuracy depends on the quality of financial data provided and assumptions about future growth. We use sensitivity testing to show how the valuation changes under different growth or risk scenarios, giving you a realistic and defensible figure you can rely on for negotiations, planning, or compliance.
-
With our process, once the questionnaire and supporting information are completed, most valuations can be delivered within 10 business days. This is significantly faster than traditional consultancy-led approaches.
-
You will receive two outputs:
1. A Valuation Certificate providing a clear equity value range.
2. A Detailed Valuation Report with five-year forecasts, risk analysis, and assumptions.
You can then use these in negotiations, planning, tax submissions, or strategic decision-making. Many clients also repeat valuations annually as a business health check.
-
Yes. A valuation provides clarity and confidence whether you are considering an exit, raising funds, resolving disputes, or simply benchmarking business performance. It can highlight strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities that are not always visible from the financial statements alone.
-
Every business is different. The only reliable way to establish value is through a structured, independent valuation that considers both current performance and future potential. For £2,000 + VAT per entity, Lagom Consulting will provide you with a defensible valuation range and a detailed report to support your next steps.
