Cash Flow Another factor affecting the value of your business is cash flow. Cash flow is the money left in the business over a period and must be distinguished from profit. You can be making good profits but if your clients don't pay their bills, you could be having negative cash flow in the business.

Strategic value is where a buyer gains more from buying your business than just the profit. The two businesses together create extra value. This could be by virtue of the buyer gaining a key employee from the purchase, securing a key product that it can sell to its database or some other benefit of the transaction.
