Valuing a Vertical Industry Over Time - a Visual Perspective


Taken from Inc and first brought to my attention from FlowingData

the interactive site allows a measure of business evaluation by vertical industry.

For my collage example, I examined Prepackaged Software and changes in valuation from 2002 to 2009. Its allows for you enter your own company's valuation figures; enter your Net Sales, Gross Profit, EBIT/EBITA, Earnings & BVIC to obtain your valuation score.



From the Business Buyer's Guide:

" .... For the sixth year, Inc. has partnered with Business Valuation Resources to produce our guide to valuing your business. The graphics, tables, and work sheets that make up this guide -- which are based on 2,168 transactions from January 1, 2007, to March 31, 2009, in 122 industries -- can help you get a sense of what has happened to your business's worth in this economy...."
