Frequently asked questions

What is a business valuation?
A business valuation, also known as a company valuation, is the process of determining the dollar value of a business. During the valuation process, all areas of a business are reviewed to determine its worth and the worth of its departments or units.

A business valuation can be useful for a variety of reasons including selling, establishing partner ownership, taxation, and even divorce proceedings. Owners will often turn to professional business evaluators for a more robust estimate that uses multiple scenarios and complex factors to help determine the value of the business.
Are there other factors that can impact my results?
A valuation is just a guideline to help you approach a negotiation or create a plan. The more information you can provide the more accurate this estimate will be. However, the final outcome is often different and is influenced by many factors - for example: terms, restrictions, timing, your eagerness to sell, due diligence, etc.
Why use a valuation calculator?
Determining the value of your business on your own may be a complicated and tedious process while using a professional valuator may be costly and time consuming. Fortunately, our valuation calculator is quick and easy! All you need to do is connect your accounting software or financial statement and you can establish your estimated business value in just minutes. Best of all it’s free for CWB clients!


Some other reasons you may want to use a valuation calculator are:

  • it’s a readily accessible, cost-effective, and efficient way to track your business’ value over time
  • it helps you make informed and strategic decisions about the future of your business
  • visualize information in a meaningful way
  • instant access to data insights that can uncover opportunities and risks

CWB’s goal is to provide small business owners with the tools and resources they need to thrive. We’re here to support and empower you and your advisors on your journey towards success.

Why get a professional valuation?

A professional valuation can assist in evaluating multiple scenarios and methods to determine a business’ value. Your business may be more valuable in separate pieces than as a whole for example.

This kind of valuation is more accurate but may be time consuming. A detailed professional valuation will take significantly more information into account, increasing accuracy as well as the time it takes to complete.

Interested in a professional valuation? Reach out to your relationship manager/small business advisor or contact a banking centre to help put you in touch with the right people.
