8 simple steps
to create consistency and efficiency
with your valuations
Step 1:
Gather the Client Financials
The first step is to gather all the necessary financial information from the business owner. This will include financial statements, tax returns and so on.
Step 2:
Track All Documentation
The thorough tracking of documents can be a very labour intensive task given the sheer volume of paperwork created during these processes.
Step 3:
Adjust Financials
The financials can be adjusted to better reflect the economic reality of the business.
Step 4:
Financial Analysis
At this stage, our valuation professional analyzes ratios and performs common size analysis to judge the company’s performance.
Step 5:
Income Approach
This approach allows the valuation professional to convert the projected future income of a company into present value. The valuation professional uses specific methods within this approach – such as the ‘discounted future benefits’ method.
Step 6:
Market Approach
When using the market approach, the value of the business is determined by comparing one company to other similar companies within the same industry, of the same size and/or within the same region
Step 7:
Asset Approach
This approach uses the value of the company’s tangible and intangible assets as well as its liability to determine value. Once this approach is complete, a final value can be calculated.
Step 8:
Valuation Report
Writing your valuation report is vital as it represents both time and energy that’s been invested in the valuation process. The information and advice in the report can help the business owner to make greater strategic decisions – therefore the content must be articulated clearly.
Valuation Methods
There are many different Valuation Methods. Listed below are the three methods we use to guarantee the best valuation for your business.
EBIT – Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) is a measure of a firm’s profit which includes all income and expenses (operating and non-operating) except interest expenses and income tax expenses.
EBITDA – An abbreviation for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, EBITDA attempts to measure free cash flow based on numbers in a company’s income and cash flow statements. Like most valuation methods, the effectiveness of EBITDA varies by calculation method and company.
Book Valuation (Balance Sheet Value) – is the value of an asset according to its balance sheet account balance. For assets, the value is based on the original cost of the asset less any depreciation, amortization or impairment costs made against the asset.
