How to value a nursery business


A guide on how to value a nursery business

The key topics covered are as follows:

- Presentation of EBITDA in order to maximise value

- The key drivers of value for nurseries

- Various illustrative valuations based upon these key drivers

- An explanation of the difference between Enterprise Value (i.e. the headline price offered for a business) and the Equity Value (i.e. the amount that the shareholders will actually receive for the shares of the company)
