Your valuation will be much greater if you’ve had consistent growth in revenue, profitability and, especially, gross margin pounds, than if your growth has been erratic. Disciplined and steady performance, which the tools/techniques of Scaling Up help to provide, proves the company can create and deliver consistent results in a chaotic environment. Having the discipline of regularly reviewing your numbers and ensuring that you team are financially literate is a powerful way to ensure that you and your team stay utterly focused around the financial performance of your organisation.  We encourage our clients to use the [Cashflow Story software](https://www.cashflowstory.com/). This tool makes it simple to understand how your business is performing and brings real rigour to the visibility of your numbers.
