Business Valuation

Business valuation is a crucial aspect of decision-making in today’s fast-paced corporate world.

When considering a sale, acquisition, merger, or project financing, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of a company’s true value to avoid financial and operational risks.

Our valuation reports are based on extensive methodologies aligned with international standards, using various models depending on the specific purpose of the valuation.

Common Valuation Methods:

  • DCF (Discounted Cash Flow Method) – Evaluates a company's value based on future cash flows discounted to present value.
  • Trading Multiples Method – Compares the company’s valuation with similar publicly traded companies.
  • Transaction Multiples Method – Uses valuation benchmarks from comparable past transactions. Each method has its strengths and limitations, making them more or less suitable depending on the unique characteristics of the company being assessed.

When is Business Valuation Recommended?

  • Determining value for existing owners
  • Preparing for a business sale
  • Capital increase (recapitalization) planning
  • Company acquisition
  • Due Diligence preparation
  • Initial Public Offering (IPO) preparation
  • Exit strategy for co-owners
  • Management performance evaluation
  • Debt-to-equity conversion for creditors

Regardless of the scenario, our expert team will guide you through the valuation process, providing objective, comprehensive, and technically sound insights to support your business decisions.
