== Strategies for Enhancing Company Valuation ==

Possible ways to increase the valuation of the company:

* Refine the company mission to incorporate a much larger TAM, such as global financial services (rather than the UK market only).
* Determine and make clear the uniqueness of the company.
* Better company leadership.

== Innovate or be acquired ==

My view is that in order for the company to 'live' it either needs to 1) innovate or 2) be acquired by or merge with another company.
