Valuation: Ensure that the asking price is fair based on the business's financial performance, assets, market position, and future potential. It may be necessary to get an independent valuation.

Interests: If I were to evaluate a business for investment, acquisition, or advice, there are several key factors I would consider: 1) Market potential: What to look for: Size of the market, growth trends, and future potential. A large and growing market indicates more opportunities for growth. Example of businesses: I would favour tech startups in the AI, renewable energy, or biotech sectors due to their immense market potential. 2) Business model: What to look for: How the company makes money, revenue streams, and scalability. Why: A solid and scalable business model ensures long-term profitability. Example of businesses: Companies like subscription-based SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses, which have recurring revenue models. 3) Financial health: What to look for: Profit margins, cash flow, debt levels, and financial statements. Why: Sound financial health indicates stability and a lower risk of failure. Example of businesses: Established companies with healthy balance sheets, such as blue-chip stocks like Apple or Microsoft. 4) Competitive advantage: What to look for: Unique selling propositions, patents, or brand strength. Why: Competitive advantages protect the business from competitors. Example of businesses: Businesses with strong brands or unique technology, such as Tesla. 5) Management team: What to look for: Experience, vision, leadership skills, and track record. Why: A competent management team can execute the business strategy effectively. Example of businesses: Startups led by founders with a proven track record in their industry. 6) Customer base: What to look for: Customer loyalty, satisfaction, and diversity. Why: A diverse and loyal customer base reduces risk. Example of businesses: Companies with a strong and diverse customer base, like Amazon. Innovation and R&D: What to look for: Investment in research and development, and new product pipelines. Why: Continuous innovation keeps the business ahead of competitors. Example of businesses: Tech companies like Google, which continuously innovate. 7) Regulatory environment: What to look for: Compliance with regulations, and potential legal challenges. Why: Regulatory hurdles can impact the business’s ability to operate. Example of businesses: Avoid businesses in highly regulated industries unless they have a strong legal team. 8) Social and environmental impact: What to look for: Sustainability practices, social responsibility. Why: Increasing importance of ethical practices and sustainability. Example of businesses: Companies with strong ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices, like Patagonia. Businesses I would potentially favor: Renewable energy companies like NextEra Energy. Tech giants like Google or Amazon. Biotech firms with strong R&D pipelines. Businesses I would be cautious about: - Companies in declining industries such as traditional coal mining. - Firms with high debt levels and poor cash flow. - Businesses with negative press regarding unethical practices, like some fast fashion brands. By evaluating these factors, I would aim to make informed decisions that align with both short-term and long-term goals, ensuring a balanced and sustainable approach to investment and business advice.
Background: I am working as a legal advisor in a software development company. I am also an independent advisor and help in the buying and selling of businesses. I provide my services to my clients in the Middle East and in the UK. I do not charge upfront fees. I charge success fees.

Interests: Below are some factors to consider when deciding what to pursue along with my personal criteria given as the short-term and longer-term goals. - Relationships: Having existing relationships with necessary customers, partners, hires and investors. - Access to customers: Customer development interviews within a reasonable period of time. - Skillset required to execute the business plays to the strength of the team, execution risk should be less. If it’s a consumer app that acquires a customer through search, a team of SEO experts could be pretty effective. - Ability to validate: Does it require product development to get validation, do I have to sit through 10-month sales cycles to know if it can be sold, those are risky paths to go down. That’s part of the reason I’ve been interested in companies solving known and validated problems or in existing and validated markets (second movers). - Need for financing: Business should generate cash flow. If a lot of money is required to start testing the concept, either because costs are high or because it will take a while to become cash flow positive, financing will be required either from founders or investors. - Size of market and opportunity: How much upside is being generated, If the goal is to build a massive company, will need to be in a massive market. - Quantity and quality of work: How enjoyable will the work be, how much time will it require, most opportunities will require significant time investments. - Other criteria are product safety, market gap, R&D within a short time period, dependence on other products, customer usage, pressure from the competition, revenue generation, trade barriers, protecting intellectual property, pricing your new product or service, export potential, expected product or service lifecycle, distribution plans, long term revenue flow, working capital requirements, having a right team.
Background: Advisory firm providing services like evaluation, researching, feasibility analysis, industry growth, stability, products commercializing. We are a group of CAs managing the firm having a combined experience of over 40 years. Our advisory fee will be based on the transaction.
