One of the most contentious points when it comes to valuing a business is trying to work out which of the investors and team members contribute what… and more importantly, what those contributions are worth.

How do you measure the contributions of a non cash nature? If team members are not being compensated through salaries, how do you attach a value to the time that team members are contributing?

How do you attach a value to professional networks or introductions brought into an early stage business?

This was a question that came up on our recent webinar with Guy Addison from Addison Advisory entitled: “Preparing your business for sale – practical advice for the entrepreneur” and one of the suggestions that Guy made was to check out the Slicing Pie methodology.
