It's quite hard to find good value growing shares in the ASX200 (ASX: XJO) at the moment, but particularly hard to find growing businesses with not-bad dividends.

Many of the best ASX200 shares are also trading at very high valuations, so they're probably not the best options.

However, the below ASX200 shares could be good ideas:

Brickworks Limited (ASX: BKW

Brickworks has three (or four) high-quality divisions which all have long-term attractive growth potential.

It owns a 50% stake of an industrial property trust along with Goodman Group (ASX: GMG). Industrial properties are highly sought after in city locations for businesses wishing to improve their logistics.

Brickworks also owns a sizeable amount of shares of quality investment conglomerate Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Co. Ltd (ASX: SOL), which has been an excellent long-term investment.

The final segment is the building division. It's a very large brickmaker in Australia with a few other products and it is now expanding in the US with acquisitions, which is a huge potential market in coming years.  

Webjet Limited (ASX: WEB)

The travel business has taken a bit of a tumble since reporting its FY19 result which included good organic growth, acquired growth and predictions of higher profit margins to come.

Many of the best ASX shares are ones with highly scalable economic models where new revenue adds to profit at a faster rate. Webjet is somewhat the same, except its revenue may be volatile sometimes – demand for travel can be variable.

But I really like the prospects of WebBeds, the business to business (B2B) segment, where it is now a large global player and growing at a good rate. There are plenty of opportunities to expand for many years into the future organically and perhaps further acquisitions in the future.

InvoCare Limited (ASX: IVC

The largest funeral operator in Australia and New Zealand doesn't sound like an exciting opportunity. But, sadly, the ageing demographics are a strong tailwind for InvoCare.

Death volumes are expected to grow by 1.4% per annum between 2016 to 2025 and then increase by 2.2% per annum from 2025 to 2050. Combine that with growth in the average price per funeral over time and it should lead to solid growth of earnings and dividends over time.

Foolish takeaway

Each of these businesses could grow at a solid rate over the coming years, even if there's some short-term hiccups along the way. At the current prices I'd be very happy to buy shares of Webjet and Brickworks.

If you back out the Soul Patts shares value in Brickworks, the rest of the earnings and assets look cheap. Webjet is trading at a low price compared to its projected earnings in a couple of years.
