A practical starting point
- Branch profit and central overhead allocation
- Site leases and renewal commitments
- Mature-site performance versus recent openings
These are prompts for the example below. The information needed for your business will be agreed individually.
A multi-site service business: which locations create the value?
A business with several branches can hide large differences in profitability. A valuation for a North West owner or buyer should explain the contribution of each site and the shared costs needed to operate the group.
Prepare branch-level results reconciled to the company accounts. Identify central overheads, lease commitments and investment needed at individual sites. Explain new openings separately from mature locations.
Make the brief
specific to you.
Tell us whether you need a whole-business or shareholding valuation, who will use it and the date it should relate to. Explain any proposed transaction and the documents currently available.
A valuation range is sensitive to the evidence and assumptions. We agree the fee and intended deliverable before starting; no value or transaction outcome is promised.

Compare branches on a consistent basis
A multi-site company needs a consistent treatment of shared management, marketing and systems costs. Reconcile branch results to the accounts and explain whether central costs would remain after a site closure or sale. Local lease commitments and recent openings should be considered explicitly.
