BRISBANE, Australia - AussieJournal -- After you obtain a business valuation and business benchmark, you can design and implement strategies to help you achieve your business goals. Here are four simple strategies to help you achieve financial independence.

1. Financial Reporting – Update the current value of your business

Record the current value of your business in your financial accounts and then revisit this each year to measure progress towards your targets. An increasing business value improves your net asset position, potentially creating opportunities for financing or new investment for growth.

2. Business Goodwill Funding – Borrow money against the full value of your business

A business valuation usually includes an element of goodwill – the value of a business over and above the tangible assets or the sweat equity built by the owners. By demonstrating strong business goodwill and less personal goodwill you can access specialised financing or goodwill funding from your bank. This unlocks more funds for your business's future growth and succession plans.

3. Wealth Management and Net Worth Position – Monitor the progress towards your goals

The current value of your business should be recorded in your personal wealth management plan. This will help to keep you focused on your end goal and inspire you to create a business value surplus.

4. Insurance and Asset Protection – Protect your major source of income and wealth

If you have a business partner or partners, a current business valuation enables you to keep your business insurance up to date. Valuations are also important when negotiating buy outs, resolving ownership disputes, family conflicts or personal relationship breakdowns. An independent business valuation may be necessary before you restructure your business for asset protection and estate planning purposes.
