When valuing a business it may seem logical to value the entire company based on one factor; revenue. Some industries like professionals, hotels, and pubs frequently use this method of looking solely at gross revenue. They have a factor specific to their industry that they multiply by gross revenues to get the value of their business. Because revenue is really the result of all the things a business does, this has the positive effects of ignoring things like the companies method of financing and forcing owners to concentrate on the factors that generate revenue. However, since it only looks at revenues from the last year it is not always a good representation of the long term.
