Liberti Club Breakfast Briefing: What really makes a business valuable?

With fewer M&A deals so far in 2026 compared to last year, but larger deal sizes, the right guidance and support at the right time can substantially impact multiples and even deal completion.

For those exploring growth capital or planning for exit, it’s vital to understand the real drivers of equity value and sustained profitable growth to achieve the best investment terms or maximise wealth for your next chapter.

Fractional CFOs and corporate finance advisors are enabling founders to increase profitability and enhance equity value, and help them prepare for regulatory changes that will impact them personally and commercially.

This invitation-only event is designed to help a select group of ambitious founders, CEOs & MDs to make better strategic decisions for the best outcome. Join us for practical advice on…

• The biggest misconceptions about valuation
• The numbers that really matter & why
• What enhances & erodes valuation
• How to attract the right investor or buyer
• How to maximise profitability & sales pipelines

Join this Chatham House session for practical advice on all related questions from a panel of experts including corporate finance specialist Initium alongside fractional finance & sales leaders from The CFO Centre and Kiss The Fish.
