BUSINESS AND CORPORATE VALUATIONS

Valuing a company — and even more so a startup — is a process that combines both art and science.

It is also one of the most critical aspects when it comes to M&A operations and investor engagement.

At the heart of it all lies a key concept:

For investors, a company is worth the profits it will be able to generate in the future.

Business Valuation Requires Real Expertise

Valuing a company is a complex task — it requires solid academic foundations, extensive experience, and a deep understanding of business dynamics.

Overestimating a company’s value — which happens in 90% of cases — often results in failure to attract investors, raise capital, or complete an acquisition.

Underestimating it, on the other hand, means undervaluing your own equi

WHO IS QUALITIED TO VALUE A BUSINESS?

  • Corporate finance consulting firms, like ours, that specialize in business planning and valuation.

  • Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) or Chartered Accountants, with experience in corporate finance.

  • Venture Capitalists and Business Angels, especially in the early stages, who assess company value based on market potential and traction.

WHO IS NOT?

Be cautious. Not everyone is qualified to value a company.

  • Crowdfunding platforms often provide inflated pre-money valuations designed to attract small investors — but they tend to scare away institutional ones.
  • Then there are valuation tools and online averages: dozens of them are available at low cost, offering results that are often completely unrealistic.
  • In general, if someone doesn’t have a degree in business administration, years of hands-on experience, and a constant commitment to staying updated on a topic as fascinating as it is complex, their valuation may simply not be reliable.

WHAT WE DO

We value your company — whether it’s a startup or an SME — by calculating:

  • Pre-money valuation

  • Post-money valuation

We apply the most appropriate valuation method — because you can’t use the same criteria to assess a startup and a business unit.

We estimate the exit timing and exit value.

We provide guidance on the distribution of equity and reward mechanisms.

We calculate the growth in company value over time.

We help you define shareholders’ agreements, working closely with your accountant if needed.
