Forward outlook is a key business health factor we consider when valuing a business and assessing its sustainability of earnings; it’s a litmus test of a business’s strength.
Whether we are valuing the business in preparation for a future sale, or to help a client improve business performance, their forward outlook – in terms of both internal and external factors – can have a significant impact on business earnings and, hence, business value.
Our new ebook – How to give your business a strong forward outlook – examines the five key factors we consider when assessing the strength of a business’s forward outlook:
- Work-in-progress (WIP)
- Contracts and agreements
- Pipeline of prospects
- Client portfolio
- External market trends
The ebook includes links to three free templates we’ve created to help you keep track of your forward outlook, and assess its contribution to your business’s value.
