Every business faces varying degrees of risks on a daily basis. Now, what is vital for its survival is, knowing how these risks will affect your business. Risk detection, risk evaluation and risk management are all significant processes that every business carries out whether it does so knowingly or not. Having a formal system in terms of developing a strategy for risk analysis in place will ensure that the business owners, management and employees are all working together to enhance business resilience and growth opportunities as well.

Developing a Strategy

Providing a precise and inclusive representation of an organization’s future performance requires a Business Intermediary to consider both positive and negative features of its operations. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis provides a four-pronged system for assessing risk that links a business’s inner strengths and weaknesses to the opportunities and threats in its outer environment. This accepted tool helps valuator’s organize their thoughts and offers a holistic risk evaluation.

Identifying Risks

Developing a framework to deal with risks is not at all a complex and daunting task. Four simple steps can complete a risk management plan for most businesses. Find out what can happen, how and why a risk may arise and whether it can benefit or threaten the business. Risks can come from anywhere, yet below are the sources of some most common risks to any business:

• Operational Risks (viz. fraud or processing errors)
• Regulatory and Legal Risks (viz. contractual or third party injury)
• Natural Risks (viz. storm, flood or diseases)
• Financial Risks (viz. sources of funds or interest rate fluctuations)
• Political and Socio-Economic Risks (viz. terrorism or change in government policy)
• Strategic Risks (viz. new competitor or loss of key personnel)

Risks Related to the Buyer

For different types of buyers, it is crucial for evaluators to find out the risks related to the choice of one buyer instead of another. To ensure a valuator’s subjective decision is well supported and reasonable, below are some factors to consider very early in the process.

• Is the buyer acting on behalf of a competitor?
• What works behind his or her motivations?
• Can he or she afford to involve in the transaction?

These considerations will help in investigating exactly how these risks can affect the appraiser’s assessment. Regardless of the adverse scenario that may arise, the assistance of an experienced Business Intermediary will certainly help you identify more about business value vs. risk, selling your existing business or buying a new one.

Hence, the valuator’s support and guide their clients through the varying steps of the buying or selling process. You may also contact an attorney to review valuator’s subjective decisions for ensuring that all risk factors have received enough attention.
