Business Valuation
Are you about to buy or sell a business? Then you’ll likely need a business valuation. A business valuation provides guidance throughout the process. However, there are many other situations in which determining the value of your company is essential.
Knowledge of the value-determining elements is, for example, the driving force behind steadily growing, successful companies. Therefore, a periodic business valuation is an important tool for staying agile and being able to take an offensive approach to business.
Our experienced, registered valuation experts know that every situation is different. That’s why we look beyond just a one-time business valuation.
Business Valuations: From Indication to Necessity
If you let us, as valuation experts, assist you, you will benefit from our personalized approach and pragmatic knowledge of business valuation. With our expertise and practical methodology, we can quickly provide you with an indicative valuation of your business.
In some cases, however, more is needed than just an “indication” of value. In special business situations, an independent valuation by a “registered valuator” may be necessary. For example, in the case of business succession, an exiting shareholder, divorce, business disputes, or employee participation. In such cases, we will provide you with a comprehensive and independent valuation report.
More Than Just Valuation with a Model
We have years of experience in conducting business valuations and analyzing the elements that determine the value of a business. These include your company’s market and competitive position, risk diversification, economies of scale, management competencies, and financial performance. Linking the correct value to these elements is based on sound reasoning and market-conform assumptions. You will also receive clear explanations about how the valuation was determined and under what circumstances that value applies. After all, the added value of a business valuation lies in its applicability to your business.
For smaller SMEs, the profitability-based valuation method is the most common and practically applicable. Larger businesses with a predictable horizon are valued based on future cash flows (DCF method – Discounted Cash Flow, APV method – Adjusted Present Value). Each company has its own specific position in its business environment, and therefore, custom solutions are necessary.
Business Valuation as a Tool for Entrepreneurs
Our valuation experts go beyond just valuing your company. Together, we bridge the gap between valuation and entrepreneurship. Our consultants not only give you insight into the elements that make up your business’s value, but also show you how to control these value-determining factors and how to anticipate special business situations. Many of our clients therefore opt for a periodic business valuation. We join your company’s annual strategic session and provide you with the necessary tools to adjust short- and long-term objectives and monitor progress. With periodic business valuations, you remain agile and can take an offensive approach to business.
