Gain the competitive edge by conducting a valuation of your company every year-quickly, accurately, and inexpensively

Business leaders who know their company's value at any given moment are more likely to seize the competitive edge-especially these days, when adding digital capabilities can dramatically affect value. But most businesses drop the ball because traditional valuation is complex, time-consuming, and expensive.

Not anymore. Reed Phillips, Chairman of Oaklins International, one of the world's largest mid-market M&A firms, lays out a straightforward method for gaining a clear understanding of your company's current value in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. He walks you through three easy steps:

• Identify the key value drivers behind the company's value and rate them to develop a Value Driver Score.
• Perform a careful examination of comparable businesses, including their market-rate multiples for revenue and EBITDA.
• Put the results together to determine the value of the business.
