In plain language and real Ontario context\, Vaibhav will walk you through exactly what business valuation means\, why it’s the make-or-break number for any exit\, succession\, or financing conversation\, and how to arrive at a fair market value you can defend to buyers\, banks\, or the CRA. \n\n\n\nYou’ll discover the three core methods—asset-based\, income-based\, and market-based approaches—explained with simple examples so you can start applying them right away. We’ll spotlight the local factors that move the needle in Ontario\, from industry benchmarks to provincial tax rules\, and show you how to engage the right Chartered Business Valuator who actually knows our market.

You won’t be one of them. Walk out with a valuation starter checklist that helps you list assets\, apply basic multiples\, and sketch a preliminary range—something you can refine with your accountant this week. \n\n\n\nWhether exit is tomorrow or a decade away\, knowing your number changes everything. Join us\, get the clarity you need\, and start planning from a position of strength.  \n\n\n\nIf you’re serious about getting the most out of this session\, come prepared with your last three years of income statements pre-populated in Excel. It’ll make following along and applying the concepts a whole lot easier and faster.
