A practical starting point
- Stock ageing and obsolete inventory
- Supplier terms and customer payment patterns
- Warehouse leases and normal working capital
These are prompts for the example below. The information needed for your business will be agreed individually.
A distribution business: earnings and working capital together
A distributor may report a profitable year while holding more stock and collecting customer debts more slowly. A buyer will want to understand both the earnings and the working capital required to support them.
Provide stock ageing, debtor and creditor information alongside management accounts. Explain supplier dependency, warehouse commitments and whether recent margin changes are sustainable. Keep a clear distinction between business value and equity value.
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.

UK-wide coverage
Make the warehouse commitments visible
For a distribution company, premises and supplier terms can change the cash needed to support sales. Identify warehouse capacity, renewal dates and material delivery arrangements. Reconcile inventory records and branch results before assuming an increase in turnover creates a matching increase in value.
