What is your business actually worth?
Tell me if this sounds familiar…
It’s Monday morning, and your mind is whirring with responsibilities before the work day has even started. You swipe open your phone, and your Google calendar paints a familiar picture: an endless juggle of projects to action, slack messages to get back to, launches to plan, funnels to finalise, clients to please, team to manage, deadlines to meet, content to create…the list goes on and on.
New week, same old story. And let’s not get started on those left-on-read WhatsApp messages from friends and family…
On paper, you’re smashing it. You’ve built a successful, thriving business that’s carved out an industry-leading reputation. But it comes at a cost. Everything is on your shoulders, and you daren’t take a day off because something will slip through the cracks.
You’ve bought all the courses, joined masterminds and coaching programmes that cost the equivalent of a house deposit, and tried to implement the guidance. And although you’ve been able to increase sales and build an all-star team, you’ve somehow wound up with an even bigger workload and payroll bill.
Even if you’re not the one doing all the work, your brain still is.
Deep down, you question whether what you’re doing is worth it or if you can sustain this pace of work for years to come without compromising your health, well-being, and social life.
You’re so done with the treadmill sensation and the constant pressure to sign new clients, create new offers, chase the next shiny object strategy, and launch new services again and again without an end goal in sight.
What are you actually working towards?
So, I would like to ask you once again…
What are you actually working towards?
It’s my mission to help you understand how much your business is currently worth, what you can do to increase that value, and what it could be worth.
My team and I are here to turn your business into a valuable asset so that you can:
- One day sell or exit for $£$£.
- Pass down your business to your family/friends as a legacy.
- Raise investment so that you can grow and scale.
- Take a step back and have a business that runs itself.

VAL-YOU is a first-of-its-kind service that not only values your business but tells you the exact steps you need to take to increase its worth. It was born out of my frustration of working with go-getting founders who were working to the point of exhaustion for a business with zero market value.
Think of VAL-YOU like a home makeover. We know exactly what changes and improvements you need to make to multiply the value of your business, stopping you from wasting money and time on things that a future buyer or investor doesn’t care about. Most importantly, we’ll help you finally take a step back from the day-to-day running of your business.
Here’s how we will increase the value of your business.
1. Determine how much your business is currently worth
We’ll arrange a 2-3 hour deep-dive call where we’ll get to know you as the founder and explore every area of your business (think a friendlier, less interrogatory version of Dragon’s Den). Once we have all the necessary information from you and your financial records, we’ll send this off to specialist accountants, Strive X, so they can value your business as it currently stands. In the meantime, we’ll get to work….
2. Observation of your virtual office
We’ll ask you to invite us into your virtual office (Voxer, Slack, Whatsapp, etc.) so we can observe how your business and internal operations are functioning day-to-day. Rest assured, we’ll be silent squirrels - you won’t even know we’re there.
3. Operational and Team Audit
Once we understand the inner workings of your business, we’ll audit every single department in your business, along with your tech stack, team members, and your day-to-day tasks as CEO.
4. Business Risk
We’ll review your business for key risks and how these can be mitigated. For example, what happens if a key team member leaves or if your primary social media marketing platform goes down?
5. Reporting and Creation of a Bespoke Business Roadmap
We’ll build a business roadmap, breaking down the inefficiencies and areas for improvement across your entire business. We’ll prioritise them from high to low risk so you know which action points are the most important and can add the most value to your business.
6. Business Strategy Report
Based on your goals, we’ll create a business strategy report, which will provide you with insights into your product suite, messaging, and clientele, as well as ideas on how to increase revenue while doing less.
7. Revaluation of your business
Strive X will revalue your business on the basis that all items from our roadmap have been actioned and by how much these improvements can increase the value of your business.
8. Profiling
We’ll give you suggestions on who could be a potential buyer of your business along with other insider industry insights. Even if you never intend to sell, this will provide you with fascinating intel about market trends and the perceived value of your business.
9. Offboarding Call
To round up, we’ll review your bespoke business roadmap, valuations, and all our findings on a 90-minute call.
What this can do for your business:
- Help you retire fifteen years earlier, as Emily, Lindsey, and Sophie did.
- Sell your company for multiple 7-figures, as Charlie did.
- Work two hours per week and multiply your business’s income by twenty, as Poppy did.
VAL-YOU Inclusions:
* Price can vary depending on business size and quality of financial records.

FAQs
This is for you if you have:
● Been running an online service or product-based business for at least two years and have up-to-date financial records
● An idea for a business and want to check if it’s viable and how you should go about setting it up (yes, we can value an idea!)
That’s not a problem, we are fully remote and are equipped to step in and support you wherever you are based in the world.
Before starting my own business, I worked in corporate audit, where I spent a great deal of time in mergers and acquisitions (buying and selling businesses internally) for some of the world’s largest organisations. Since starting my business, I have been a COO in several 8-figure exits and primed several business owners to be able to raise investment or sell and retire early. My zone of genius is being able to extract business owners from the day-to-day running of their business.
In short yes – we have collaborated with the UK’s fastest scaling accountancy practices for the valuation, striveX. They support startups to multi-million-pound companies and everything in between. Their clients use their valuations to appear on shows like Dragon’s Den & The Apprentice.
When you sign on to work with us, you will also be entered into a confidentiality agreement with striveX who are governed by the Chartered Institute of Accountancy for England and Wales and have professional indemnity insurance. We will be signing NDAs and once the service is over your records and details will be deleted for our records. We also guarantee exclusivity and will not work with 2
businesses in the same industry at the same time.
P.S striveX are actually our accountants too!!
Without getting too technical – company valuations are based on a number of different factors – the deep dive session, industry insights and 3 accounting & compliance methods. As this offering is not to value your business to sell straight away or get immediate investment and in order to keep your time commitment as low as possible, we will value your business using two different methods and we prepare a reporting dashboard for you to have complete oversight into the different methods, valuations and the numbers behind the numbers.
However if you are looking for a more thorough valuation then you will need a minimum of 3 years of up-to-date book-keeping and we can do this for an additional fee of £2,000.
Yes, it can. Even if you’re not interested in selling or exiting your business altogether, I’m sure you’re craving a less hands-on approach to running your business. Maybe you’d like to take a month off (or even several months off) to spend time with your family, go travelling, or pursue your interests outside of work. VAL-YOU helps you to understand the intricacies of turning your business into an asset that grows in value without your constant input.
