Program Content
Too often valuations do not adequately gauge the strength or weaknesses of competitors when projecting future business values, yet competitor strength is often a major factor in determining what will be paid for a business. This course is divided up into three sections. The first secion outlines the most important factors valuators need to look at when sizing up competitors to a business. The next section applies a simple yet effective tool to measure how quickly and effectively competitors are able to act and react to market conditions. And finally, the last selection illustrates a series of examples from real world cases that illustrate the key issues raised.

Learning Objectives

After completing this webinar participants will be able to:

• Identify and break down competitor strengths and weaknesses and estimate their impact on valuation in terms of controllable and uncontrollable risk factors that affect discount rates
• Articulate the vital nature of competitor strength in determining business value
• Develop a plan to throughly consider competitor strength in the valuation process

Who Should Attend
Practitioners, CEOs, CPAs and other attendees who have experienced how a carefully developed business valuation may be disregarded or devalued by buyers who look primarily at how effectively a company will be able to compete against its competitive set.

Michael F. Cannon, MBA, MA, BA, AVA
Most small business owners know that financial analysis is only part of the business equation and gives you just one aspect of the story. Michael Cannon spent 25 years running small businesses as President, CEO. While Michael's financial credentials are strong, he approaches Business Valuation from a whole company point of view and seeks to understand how the business works through a thorough analysis of all key business components; marketing, management, financial analysis, competitive review, market, regional and national economic outlooks. Michael has a strong background to support this approach. He has established a distinguished career in the marketing, management and communications fields, and was instrumental in the international expansion of a leading Fortune 500 communications conglomerate, the development of advertising sales for a major worldwide pay television group, and a firm he founded to reorganize companies, manage M&A opportunities and conduct Cost Segregation Studies.
