Business Valuation (EVA)

One of the most powerful questions you can answer for a client is: “What’s my business worth?”

The EVA (Exit Value Accelerator) models in VFD Pro make it simple to value a business today and show how decisions affect that value over time. For clients thinking about growth, funding, or exit, this shifts the conversation from numbers to strategy.

Benefits for You and Your Clients

  • Clarity on business value – show where they stand today.
  • Exit readiness – demonstrate how to increase value ahead of a future sale.
  • Funding support – prepare robust financial forecasts and proposals for investors or lenders.
  • Strategic focus – link day-to-day performance to long-term value creation.

Available EVA Models

  • EVA Business Valuation Model – a straightforward valuation based on financial data and assumptions.
  • Exit Planning Forecast & Funding Proposal Model – a detailed, forward-looking model to support exit planning or raise capital.

👉 Both resources are available via the VFD Academy Resource Library

To-do checklist (optional):

  • Generate an EVA Business Valuation Model for one client.
  • Review how small improvements (e.g., margin, debtor days) affect valuation.
  • Explore the Exit Planning & Funding Proposal model if a client is considering funding or exit.
