An entrepreneurial valuator who has personal experience dealing with leases as a business owner operator can assess the positive or negative value of a lease where others without that business experience could be adrift. The experienced entrepreneurial valuator is in a good position to know when to ask for legal assistance to help understand a lease. Our methodology use experience to truly understand this and assign a weight as required by the Canadian Income Tax Act to determine “fair market value”.
A valuator with experience in managing businesses can assess the impact of lease terms on a company's value, considering factors such as duration, rent escalation, and renewal options.
Meanwhile, an accountant might not possess the practical experience needed to assess the impact of lease terms on a company's value, as they may not fully understand the nuances of lease negotiations and their long-term implications.
Accountants without hands-on business experience may not consider the impact of lease terms on a company's value, potentially overlooking the long-term implications of lease negotiations.
Business brokers might not possess the practical experience needed to assess the impact of lease terms on a company's value, as they may not fully understand the nuances of lease negotiations and their long-term implications.
The impact of lease terms on a company's value may not be considered in sale price data, potentially overlooking the long-term implications of lease negotiations
Disruptive Valuation Methodology:
This proves why Eric Jordan’s “25 Factors Affecting Business Valuation” methodology combined with 15 years or more of business owner operator experience produces the most accurate option for all stakeholders.
This methodology is proving to be “disruptive” in the valuation industry.
WHY would you accept a valuation from a BROKER OR ACCOUNTANT using flawed data or outdated valuation approaches
?
Hard Asset Approach, Income Approach, and Market Approaches to business valuation should never be accepted in 2023 when we know better.
These are approaches used by unscrupulous agents and others
using inaccurate data and accounting formulas to suggest a business value that
might fit well into their business plan; but not yours.
Venture Capitalists are the valuers of the biggest companies in the world. Think Peter Thiel.
Neither Peter Thiel, Elon Musk or any of the other top 150 Venture Capitalists in the world are accountants or real estate agents.
The biggest and best companies in the world are not trusting accountants or
realtors for valuation purposes; WHY WOULD YOU?
Trust your local accountant who sticks to accounting. That is who we depend upon to start your valuation process.
“None of the top 150 valuators in the world are accountants.”
The top business valuators in the world are Venture Capitalists like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and our Canadian example Mark D Wiseman.
Of the 200,000 honest, hard working, professional accountants in Canada; less than 1% suggest they can do business valuations.
We believe this radical 1% of would be monopolists have no business doing business valuations in 2023 using outdated, unreliable, misleading and dishonest approaches to business valuation.
These outdated approaches are:
Hard Asset, Income and Market approaches to business valuation.
Those 1% and their methodology was proven wrong in 2009 by Mark D Wiseman and the Canadian Pension Plan Fund.
Canadian Venture Capitalist Mark D Wiseman, working with the Canadian Pension Plan, valued a block of shares of a company that had
financial statements showing huge losses (SKYPE), and purchased that block at $300 MILLION USD. Mark D Wiseman was
also instrumental in selling that same block of shares for well over a BILLION USD two years later.
That day in 2009 was the day when accounting based valuators had their methodology turned on its head.
Mark D Wiseman has been added to a list of the top 150 Venture Capitalists in the world (Researched in March 2023) NONE OF WHOM are accountants.
The 150 top Venture Capitalists in the world who value some of the world's most valuable companies should be considered the world’s best valuation experts.
And again, none of them, to the best of our research, are accountants. Does anyone seriously think these top experts would employ the old hard asset,
income, or market approach to business valuation used by most accountant based valuators today? Ask Warren Buffet?
Venture Capitalists use honest accountants to supply reliable financial data that has generally been arranged for tax purposes. Clients have already paid these accountants tens of thousands of dollars to produce these documents that are generally needed to start a valuation.
This is also the basis of Eric Jordan’s “25 Factors Affecting Business Valuation” methodology. Honest Accountants produce the
financial records required to start the valuation process. This is where, in private company valuations, experienced business owner/operators
take over. These people with 15 years or more of relevant business owner/operator experience, are trained in the use of Eric
Jordan’s “25 Factors Affecting Business Valuation”. They identify, measure, weigh, and put an estimated value on the intangible assets that make up the majority of most company value since at least 2009. This is when the Mark D Wiseman/Skype moment changed business valuation history.
Clients have paid their accountants tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars for accounting. We trust these professionals FOR ACCOUNTING AND TAX PURPOSES; but NOT for Business Valuation.
NONE of the top 150 valuators in the world are accountants.
Consider Warren Buffet and his partner Charlie Munger and what they have to say about accountants overeaching, and not staying in their proper lane. And not sticking to accounting.

The 99% of Accountants who stick to accounting are well respected. The other 1% give the rest a bad name.
