Business Services business valuation,
financial modelling & cash runway.
UK agencies and consultancies trade at 0.5x to 2.5x EV/Revenue. High-retainer, low-concentration firms reach the upper end; founder-dependent ones the lower.
Utilisation, billable hours and gross margin set the range. IVSC-compliant, signed.
The inputs that drive Business Services value.
We anchor every Business Services valuation on these inputs, with sensitivities run on the top three assumptions that move the concluded range most.
Current market pricing.
How we approach Business Services valuations.
We anchor on EV/EBITDA with explicit key-person and concentration adjustments, then triangulate against EV/Revenue (segregated by recurring vs. project) and a DCF that models utilisation and rate-card progression.
Every Business Services valuation triangulates DCF, comparable companies and precedent transactions, and adds an asset-based overlay where it materially affects the range. The full methodology is documented in our methodology disclosure.
The levers that move a founder-dependent firm up that range, rather than merely measure where it sits, are covered in how financial modelling can increase business valuation.
