Business Valuation

Business Valuation

Business owners regularly reach a point where they need a credible answer to what the business is actually worth, whether that is triggered by a pending sale, a new investor or partner coming in, a merger, or an internal equity decision. A rough guess or a multiple pulled from the internet rarely survives the first serious challenge.

Most valuation disputes are not really about the final number. They are about a number nobody can explain when it is questioned. A defensible business valuation needs a clear, recognized methodology behind it, not just a headline figure someone is expected to trust.

How we can help

We arrive at your valuation through recognized, defensible methodologies, so the resulting figure holds up in a negotiation, a legal proceeding, or an investor conversation, not just in the report itself.

Below are some common examples of where we can help.

• Discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation - future cash flows projected and discounted to present value, with every assumption documented clearly enough to hold up under a buyer's or investor's questioning.
• Comparable company analysis - your business benchmarked against similar companies in your industry and size range, using real market multiples.
• Precedent transaction analysis - valuation informed by what similar businesses have actually sold for, not just theoretical models.
• M&A and transaction support - valuation work aligned with what buyers and their advisors will expect to see in a pending sale or acquisition.
• Equity and ownership valuations - valuations built for cap table decisions, buy-sell agreements, or bringing in new equity partners.
• Valuation reports for third parties - a clear, professional report you can hand directly to a buyer, investor, lender, or attorney without translating it yourself.

A valuation prepared for an internal ownership decision carries the same weight as one prepared for a live sale, because both eventually face someone with a reason to question the number. Share the context behind why you need this valuation, and we will walk you through the methodology that fits it.
