Enterprise Valuation
 

Why Is a Company Valuation Important?

A company valuation is essential as a basis for the sale of a company. The calculated valuation range shows the current value of the company (fair value) and is an important part of the information memorandum. In company valuations, a distinction is made between absolute and relative valuation methods. Discounted cash flow statements (DCF) are used as absolute methods. The most commonly used method is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Another form of cash flow statement is the adjusted present value (APV) or the flow to equity. Relative valuation methods use multiples that are derived from publicly disclosed market values of listed companies in the same industry and region to determine the company value of the target company. The company value is calculated by comparing the results of the target company with the results of a peer group. This is because it can be assumed that similar companies have a comparable company value.

What our customers say

Portrait eines älteren Mannes

"The sale of the business I founded and built was a pivotal moment in my life and that of my family. As I didn't want to involve my family and immediate circle until a later date, the straightforward initial valuation using the valuation tool on the Seal the Deal website proved to be extremely beneficial. The company valuation in the form of an expert opinion was also particularly valuable, especially during the purchase price negotiations with the investors."
