The Shareholder Value Equation
In this episode of the series, Emer O’Riordan takes us through the key elements and challenges that entrepreneurs should be focusing on in order to maximise the potential value of their business. O’Riordan breaks down the shareholder value equation, explaining the effects that recent performance, market sentiment, redline issues and the multiplier effect has on a business valuation and takes us through the main challenges that arise during this process. Challenges include overdependence on an owner-manager, a lack of an overall business plan and strategy, inappropriate funding structures and gaps in senior management capabilities.
