Pattison believes that the key to improving the value of a company in a highly aggressive marketplace is to get the fundamentals right: "In 2004, many companies in the industry focused solely on increasing sales at all costs. Ironically, it is the companies that chose instead to focus on improving their internal structures that have increased in value the most."
Plimsoll's Company Valuation Service offers a detailed valuation and analysis of your company. To put your valuation into perspective, the same exercise is conducted for your 10 closest competitors and the results presented in a bound, 80-paged analysis. A future 'business plan year' is also included for each company to show how it might improve in value, either under existing or new ownership.
