Part of the calculation comes out below zero. A shareholding is never worth less than zero, so the floor is zero.

- Anything after the latest accounts and items off the balance sheet (guarantees, leases, disputes) are left out.
- Checked does not know the real value of buildings, stock and receivables. Enter your own revaluation or adjustment for it.
- The owner's role in the business, synergies for a buyer and the tax consequences of a sale are left out.
For a valuation to base a decision on, go to a company auditor or a certified accountant.
