For many companies, having high shareholder value is a primary business strategy and goes hand in hand with business management strategies.

Having a lean and efficient business model is fundamentally the best way to boost shareholder value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similarly, having healthy cash flows is also a good indicator of the value you can add to shareholders. As such, prioritising good cash flow is one way of boosting your shareholder value. But, again, this can help you increase dividend payments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Increasing net income per year will mean greater earnings per share. A company&#8217;s earnings per share are also a good indicator of shareholder value. This is calculated as the earnings available to common shareholders divided by outstanding shares of common stock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common stockholders are shareholders who hold common stock. Essentially, this means that they have less priority than preferred shareholders when you make payments to shareholders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Book Value Per Shareholder<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another term you may come across is &#8216;book value per shareholder&#8217; (BVPS).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BVPS shows a company&#8217;s net asset value on a per-share basis. To calculate book value per shareholder, you need to find the total value of shareholders&#8217; equity minus preferred equity and divide this sum by the weighted average of the outstanding shares.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is also a way of calculating shareholder value. Some value investors will look at BVPS in contrast with your company&#8217;s market price as a significant indicator when calculating whether a company is undervalued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Should I Focus on Shareholder Value?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As mentioned, shareholder value is a strategic priority for many companies. This has been the case since the rise of the shareholder value model business strategy alongside the theory of value-based management.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an early-stage startup company looking to expand and scale your business, it is often better to focus on the product or service you are giving customers first. Before you start getting into complex share formula calculation, it is often better to ensure that your service is quality and that you have a clear way of monetising your business. This can be equally important for early-stage investors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a business owner, you should be aware of theories around shareholder value models of running a business. This refers to when a company strategically prioritises the value it can add to shareholders through dividend payments or capital gains. Having high shareholder value will make your business desirable for investors, which will help you scale and grow.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, it is crucial to prioritise your strategic goals at the correct time. As an early-stage business, it is often better to look at growing your product or service and its customer base before getting into share value calculations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you need help with understanding how your company will be valued, our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/corporate-lawyers-lp\/\">experienced corporate\u00a0lawyers<\/a> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
