sbLiftOff Speaks GovCon, Software, and SaaS
With a deep expertise and understanding of the GovCon, Software, and SaaS markets, sbLiftOff provides specifically tailored insights to help you get the most value out of your business. GovCon companies have different business fundamentals and buyer universes compared to commercial companies, from pipeline to backlog, set-asides to sizing out, past performance to recompetes, and affiliation to novation.
Similarly, software and software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies require specialized knowledge of recurring revenue models, customer acquisition costs, churn rates, and technology stack valuations that other advisors often overlook. sbLiftOff lives and breathes both sectors.
When Does Your Business Need Merger and Acquisition Valuation Services?
Business owners need to know their company’s fair market value for various reasons. A professional valuation contributes to sound decisions and helps to avoid costly missteps. If you are planning a growth strategy or are in the midst of a sale, merger, or acquisition, knowledge of the market is essential.
Examples of when these services are beneficial include:
- Mergers and acquisitions (M&A): Valuation insights reveal what price range you can expect in today’s market while you prepare to sell and before you start talking to buyers. It also shows you everything buyers will focus on when evaluating your business — both positive and negative — so you can prepare your responses beforehand.
- Management buyout: If credible buyers exist inside the company prior to a transaction, it will be essential to know the business’s fair market value and test whether a management buyout is feasible.
- Proactive succession planning: Establishing next-generation management is best practice and requires knowledge of the company’s position in the market today and in the future.
- Creating a growth strategy: If you’re deciding whether to expand or buy another company, you need to know what your business is worth. Valuation helps you determine whether spending money on growth makes sense or if you should focus on other priorities.
- Considering an acquisition or tuck-in: You need to know the fair market value of the target business before you decide to purchase it. A valuation prevents you from overpaying and helps you identify opportunities where a merger would be worth more than managing each one separately.
