Using The Simple Valuation Formula Feature in The Clear Path To Cash App

The Clear Path To Cash App introduces a robust financial analysis tool known as the “Simple Valuation Formula.” This concept is drawn from Cash Flow Mike’s Clear Path To Cash Course, offering users a simplified yet powerful approach to assess their company’s value. In this knowledge base article, we’ll walk you through how to effectively utilize the Simple Valuation Formula feature within the app.

Accessing The Simple Valuation Formula #

To begin leveraging the Simple Valuation Formula for your business valuation, follow these straightforward steps:

1. Log In: Start by logging in to your Clear Path To Cash App account.
2. Navigate to Simple Valuation: Look for the “Simple Valuation” option in the left navigation menu. Click on it to access the feature.
3. Select a Period to Adjust: You’ll need to choose a specific period from the drop-down menu. This period will be the reference point for your valuation adjustments.

Understanding the Graph and Calculation Steps #

The Simple Valuation Formula feature presents a graph that displays all available value calculations based on your selected period record. To the right of the graph, you’ll find step-by-step instructions for the valuation calculation. This approach is based on a variation of the Earning Approach, providing a clear and structured path to determine your company’s value.

Entering Key Data #

To perform the valuation calculation, you’ll need to enter two critical pieces of information:

1. Average Capital Expenses: Input the average annual amount spent on capital expenses by your company. This figure reflects the investments made in assets like equipment, machinery, or property.
2. Average Owner’s Benefit: Enter the average amount taken from the company as an owner’s benefit, owner’s discretionary income, or family excess. This represents the financial benefits that the owner(s) derive from the business.

Submitting the Calculation #

Once you’ve entered the required data, click the “Submit” button. The Simple Valuation Formula will process the information, and the calculated value will be recorded for the chosen period adjustment. You’ll see this value added to the graph on the right, providing a visual representation of your company’s value over time.

Time Period Filtering #

For greater clarity and focus, you can filter the graph by different time periods. This allows you to zoom in on specific intervals, making it easier to track changes in your company’s value and understand how it evolves over time.

Major Events Tracking #

In addition to financial data, The Clear Path To Cash App allows you to build a table of Major Events for your company. These events could include significant milestones such as launching a new product or making a key hire. To create a Major Event, simply enter a name, date, and the associated period. The app will then create a marker along the line chart of value over time, combining financial and non-financial data to help you tell a richer data story about your business’s journey.

Note-Taking and Custom PDF Reports #

Beneath the analysis section, you’ll discover a space dedicated to taking notes on each graph’s findings. This feature allows you to document observations, insights, and action plans directly within the app. These notes are a valuable resource for tracking progress and outlining strategies for improvement.

Additionally, The Clear Path To Cash App offers an easy-to-use PDF export feature. You can compile the graphs, analysis, and your personalized notes into a customized PDF report. This report can be effortlessly shared with team members, stakeholders, or financial advisors, making it a powerful tool for communication and decision-making.
