Factors that can affect value and deal outcomes
Financial statements and EBITDA do not always explain how an SME actually generates its results. During a sale process, a buyer may want to analyse margins by customer, product, channel or market. Preparing this information in advance helps the company enter negotiations with clearer, more consistent and verifiable data.
A company valued at €6 million does not necessarily leave €6 million to its shareholders. Net debt, cash, working capital and other adjustments can change the value of the shares and the amount ultimately paid at closing.
An SME generating €5-10 million in revenue may be large enough to attract a buyer, but size alone is not enough. Profitability, revenue quality, niche positioning, independence from the founder and growth potential all influence whether there is a real market for the business.
