Cash Flow
Another factor affecting the value of
your business is cash flow. Cash flow is
the money left in the business over a
period and must be distinguished from
profit. You can be making good profits
but if your clients don't pay their bills,
you could be having negative cash flow
in the business.

7. Drivers Of Business Valuation
Strategic Value
Strategic value is where a buyer gains
more from buying your business than just
the profit. The two businesses together
create extra value. This could be by virtue
of the buyer gaining a key employee from
the purchase, securing a key product that
it can sell to its database or some other
benefit of the transaction.
