Our Valuation Services

Discounted Cash Flows (DCF)

The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method is a cornerstone of business valuation. It involves estimating the future cash flows of a business and discounting them to their present value. This method is particularly useful for businesses with predictable and stable cash flows.

• Prospective Financials: We analyze your projected financial statements to estimate future cash flows. This involves a detailed examination of revenue forecasts, expense projections, and investment plans.
• Financial Projections: Our team prepares comprehensive financial projections based on historical data, industry trends, and economic forecasts. These projections form the basis for our DCF analysis.
• Situational and Forward-Looking Pro-Forma Work: We consider various scenarios and their potential impacts on your business’s financial performance. This forward-looking approach helps in identifying potential risks and opportunities.

Market Approach

The market approach involves comparing your business to similar businesses that have been sold recently. This method is particularly useful for understanding how the market values businesses like yours.

• Comparable Company Analysis: We identify comparable companies and analyze their valuation multiples. This involves a detailed examination of financial metrics such as revenue, EBITDA and net income.
• Precedent Transactions: We study recent transactions in your industry to understand the valuation trends. This helps in determining a fair market value for your business.

Income Approach

The income approach focuses on the income-generating potential of your business. It involves estimating the present value of future earnings, considering factors such as growth rates, risk and profitability.

• Earnings Capitalization: We calculate the value of your business based on its ability to generate future earnings. This involves estimating a capitalization rate and applying it to your projected earnings.
• Excess Earnings Method: This method separates the return on tangible assets from the return on intangible assets, providing a detailed understanding of the value drivers in your business.

Asset-Based Approach

The asset-based approach involves valuing the individual assets and liabilities of your business. This method is particularly useful for businesses with significant tangible assets.

• Adjusted Net Asset Method: We adjust the book value of your assets and liabilities to reflect their current market value. This provides a realistic estimate of your business’s net asset value.
• Liquidation Value: We estimate the value of your business in a liquidation scenario, considering factors such as forced sale discounts and transaction costs.

Key Considerations in Business Valuation

When valuing a business, several key factors must be considered to ensure an accurate and reliable valuation.

• Economic Conditions: The broader economic environment can significantly impact business value. We analyze economic indicators and trends to assess their potential impact on your business.
• Industry Trends: Industry-specific factors, such as regulatory changes and technological advancements, can influence business value. We stay abreast of the latest industry trends to provide relevant insights.
• Management and Workforce: The quality and stability of your management team and workforce can affect business value. We evaluate your human capital to understand its contribution to your business’s success.
• Customer and Supplier Relationships: Strong relationships with customers and suppliers can enhance business value. We assess the strength and stability of these relationships as part of our valuation process.
• Competitive Landscape: The competitive environment in which your business operates can impact its value. We analyze your competitors and market position to understand the competitive dynamics.
