Hey Mama, Value That Business of Yours Appropriately

As a mother and a business owner, understanding how to value your business appropriately can be a challenge. While you want to ensure that your business is profitable and successful, you also want to make sure that you have enough time and energy to devote to your little ones. So, how do you value your business appropriately while being a mother? Here are some tips:

Determine your priorities

As a mother, your children should always come first. When valuing your business, make sure that you take into account the time and energy that you will need to devote to them. Determine how much time you can realistically commit to your business while still being present for your children. Putting value on your priorities, not just the business itself, is an essential step towards achieving your goals (both with your business and with your family) and living a fulfilling life. By putting value on your priorities, you can make sure that you are spending your time and resources in a way that aligns with your needs and helps you achieve your long-term aspirations.

But remember, you being a mother and needing to prioritize your children does NOT necessarily mean the value of the business is less than others, perhaps it means it’s more, because your time is even more precious. Something to ponder for sure.

Consider your industry

Valuing a business can vary depending on the industry you are in. Considering the value of your business based on your industry is crucial for several reasons. The value of a business can vary greatly depending on the industry it operates in, as well as the market conditions and competition within that industry. For example, a technology startup may be valued differently than a real estate company, even if they both have similar revenue numbers. Understanding the industry benchmarks for valuing businesses can help you set realistic expectations for your company's worth, as well as identify areas where you may need to improve to increase its value. Additionally, investors and potential buyers will also use industry-specific metrics to evaluate the value of your business, so having a clear understanding of your industry's standards can help you negotiate better deals and secure more favorable terms. Ultimately, valuing your business based on your industry provides important insights into its financial health and potential for growth, which can help you make informed decisions about its future.

Look at your financials and potential growth

Your business's financial statements are a good place to start when valuing your business. Analyze your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement to determine your business's profitability and financial health. We all know that financials such as revenue, profit margins, and cash flow are key indicators of a company's current worth and can be used to calculate its value using various valuation methods. However, it's also important to consider the potential for growth when valuing a business. This includes factors such as market trends, competitive landscape, and potential for expansion into new markets or products. A business with strong financials and a high potential for growth may be valued higher than one with similar financials but limited growth potential. By taking into account both financials and potential growth, you can get a more comprehensive understanding of your company's value and make strategic decisions such as seeking investment or planning for an exit.

Remember, as a mother and a business owner, it's important to strike a balance between your personal and professional life. Take the time to assess your priorities, resources, the market of your specific industry, as well as the financials and potential growth of your business. And of course, seek professional advice whenever necessary. With the right approach, which includes a combination of how you value the business and how others might, you can find that appropriate "number."
