Increase Revenue
Strategy - Review Hourly Charge Rates:
Trace the materials you use on each job and charge the customer a suitable fee to cover the cost including ordering,
handling and so on;
Minimise the loss of stock through theft, obsolescence, etc;
Minimise damage to stock items while they are in storage awaiting use or on site;
Only pay for the goods you actually receive - check quantities ordered vs quantities delivered; check the prices paid
for items; return damaged or incorrect items for a credit;
Negotiate a preferred rate from a small number of suppliers (consolidate your purchases through a few suppliers, to
get discounts for volume, rather than buying 'anywhere').
Minimise lost time travelling between jobs, or going to buy materials for the job;
Monitor progress of a job so that your people aren't idle while waiting to be able to do their work.
Prepare a customer register / database (to record work done, and other details about the customer);
If applicable for some services, institute periodic reminders about the need for regular maintenance;
Use a mix of marketing aids to keep your name in front of your existing customers.

Business Valuation
The purpose of a valuation is to determine the Fair Market Value of a business. Fair Market Value is ordinarily attributed to
the well recognised willing but not anxious purchaser and vendor analogy where there is equitable value to both parties
involved in a transaction according to the particular circumstances surrounding the transaction.
There are three business valuation methods that are currently generally accepted:
i. Asset Valuation Method - calculates the value of tangible and intangible assets available to be transferred on the sale of the
business
ii. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis - determines the present value of future opportunities or cash flow
iii. Capitalisation of Profits - multiplies a business s adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) by a capitalisation factor,
which is specific to each business and the particular point in time
This Business Valuation adopts the Capitalisation of Profits method and values the business as a going concern.
The capitalisation rate has been calculated based on the weighted adjusted EBIT and Business Valuation Parameters. The
capitalisation rate is unique to this business and will provide sufficient return to a purchaser to allow them to recoup their
investment with post tax funds over the investment payback period.
The capitalisation rate for this business is: 2.54
The business valuation is determined by multiplying the weighted adjusted EBIT by the capitalisation rate. The value of this
business is calculated as follows:

Note: FTE stands for Full Time Equivalent (NOT headcount). Some people in your business may have only worked for part of
the year or are part time. In these cases, the full time equivalent is less than 1.
For example, if a person worked 500 hours in the 12 months ending June of the applicable year and for that position type,
1800 hours is expected to be full time, then the FTE is 500/1800 = 0.28 FTE. Another way to determine the FTE is based on
how many days a week a person works. If an employee works 3 full days per week, the FTE is 3 working days / 5 weekdays=
0.6 FTE.
