Demystifying the art and science of valuations – bizval webinar recording

In a recent webinar, the founders of bizval (including your favourite ghost) explained why valuations are both an art and a science. We worked through some key principles and enjoyed a vibrant Q&A session at the end.

Ultimately, founders all want the same thing: a successful journey in creating an asset of value. A business only has value if the founder is able to step away one day and sell to someone new, cementing a legacy in the process.

Of course, the big question is this: what is the business really worth?

After an extremely successful inaugural webinar, we are looking forward to bringing you more insights on valuation methodologies and how founders can build more valuable companies. In the meantime, enjoy the recording below and head on over to bizval.co to learn more about the online valuation tool we have built.
