If your business is recently started, you have a minimal track record.<\/p>\n

In the normal M&A world, we would take a 3 or 5 year average.<\/p>\n

Taking a 3 year average for a business that just started is not appropriate.<\/p>\n

For a business that just started, but had losses the first 2 years, we wouldn’t count the first year or two where there were no sales or profit. A buyer would try to negotiate using that, but we would dismiss that quickly.<\/p>\n

One stance we would take is that a business trending upward is always more valuable than the other way. The most recent year is always more heavily waited than what happened 36 months ago as well.<\/p>\n

This is where moving averages comes in to play.<\/p>\n

But if you only have 1 or 2 years of a track record, then valuation will reflect the scenario that’s happening. Meaning is this a hot business, and is there a lot of potential, or is this something that caught a wave, but on the way out?<\/p>\n

There are various ways to go over valuation with a recent business.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, we are going to analyze if this can be duplicated again. For many businesses that is a yes, and then, we will value it at a multiple following the recent year.<\/p>\n
