Strategy
Value creation is the work an owner or investor does to make a company more valuable, such as growing sales, improving margins and building a stronger team.
Value creation is how a company becomes worth more. Common levers include sales growth, better margins, stronger leaders, better systems and smart acquisitions.
For example, a company with $5 million of EBITDA adds a sales team, upgrades its software and buys one small competitor. If EBITDA grows to $8 million, the company is worth more at the same multiple. The numbers are for example only.
For owners, value creation is both a goal and a test of a partner. A good partner should explain exactly how it will help. Ask for specifics, not slogans.
