About these figures

Figures are based on the diagnostics you have run and the numbers you have entered. A business valuation depends on factors beyond what any diagnostic can capture. A buyer or investor will also consider: whether earnings have been normalised for one-off costs; whether profit reaches the bank or is absorbed by working capital; earnings stability over time; how well processes and systems are documented; the quality of financial controls and reporting; how much the business depends on key individuals beyond you; whether a successor or deputy is in place; your growth trajectory; your market position and any proprietary advantage; and the risk profile of your sector. These factors can materially increase or reduce the multiple applied to your earnings. Nocrai surfaces the arithmetic; an adviser applies the context.
