Valuations are extremely useful management tools for business owners looking to maximise their current business performance and long-term value.

If you are a business owner and someone offers to buy your business, their offer price can often look quite good on the surface.

The JPAbusiness team is excited to announce that we have opened an office in Parramatta – the Western Sydney hub poised to become Sydney’s ‘second CBD’.
The Parramatta team will be led by Valuation Advisor Alex Dzang and will work closely with our Orange office.
Establishing a base in Sydney has been a natural progression for JPAbusiness, as we have experienced increasing interest from business clients across the Sydney basin.

The JPAbusiness Strategic Value Checklist has been created to help you drive positive strategic value in your business.
Don't wait until it's time to sell or exit to work on the business characteristics listed in the checklist. While strategic value drivers are not always quantifiable (as we discussed in our free eBook Strategic Value in a Business Sale) they’re not fairy dust either. They can’t be created with a magic wand overnight!
Strategic value drivers result from real actions you can take to enhance year-by-year earnings in your business, and also potentially assist you to capture extra value on exit of your business.

Don't wait until someone offers to buy your business to seek a business valuation or market appraisal.
Valuations are extremely useful management tools for business owners looking to maximise their current business performance and long-term value.
A valuation can help you identify what you are currently doing that is adding to your business value, and what you are doing that is detracting from value.
