Strategies for Enhancing Company ValuationEdit

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 acquiredEdit

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.
