LONDON (10 May 2016) - Oakhall, is excited to be hosting a valuation workshop aimed at the executives of technology businesses of all sizes from startup to listed companies. The event will take place in London at 8am on Tuesday 21 June as part of London Technology Week.
Knowing how your business is valued is a key foundation for helping you communicate with investors in as efficient a manner as possible, whether they be venture capital investors in a start-up or pension fund managers investing in the stock market.
Armed with this knowledge you can better judge their questions on growth, profitability, and capital intensity. Private company investors will be far happier investing in management who understand their value drivers. Public companies that seem undervalued should review their bid defence plans, and buyback shares with surplus cash flow. Possibly over-valued businesses should avoid the temptation of supporting the stock with ever more positive announcements, and also prefer special dividends to buybacks.
Starting with public market valuations, Oakhall’s managing director Andrew Griffin will run through the common and less-common valuation ratios and methods, how to value a loss-making business, the financial disclosure that will help potential investors analyse your business, and the opaque world of venture-capital valuations.
