Q: What is the method used for business valuation? I assume it's not the discounted cash flow method.

A: The Business Valuation Model combines Relative Indicators for future performance with basic financial data (Revenue, Variable Costs, and Fixed Costs) to value the business. It is not an accounting method and the forecast and valuation are be based on your subjective views expressed as quantifiable values. The methodology and relationships applied are outlined for each section in the Help file https://bizpep.com/businessvaluation.html .

Q: Does your model extend to a 5 or 10 year forecast, I am working in a business that needs to consider longer time frames.

A: The Excel based model does not. However we are currently developing similar Business Performance Analysis modules at http:// bizpep.com . These will have a fully adjustable Forecast time frame (ie as many years as you like). They should be partially running in a week or so, with full release (of at least some of the modules) in around a month.
