A question that every startup entrepreneur struggles to answer. Startup valuation is not as straightforward as a traditional public-company valuation. But it’s very important for you to be able to quantify your business’s worth when approaching equity investors so you can get the best deal possible. We have been working with VCs and PE firms for almost 10 years and can leverage our valuable experience gained while working with them to most accurately evaluate your business’s worth. We use a combination of different techniques to estimate the most reliable and reasonable valuation for your startup.
People usually mistake valuation to be a process only needed during the sale or merger of a company but valuation has more uses than that. Following are some of the most common use cases.
Valuation modeling is usually performed to value the pre and post merger company in order to evaluate the merger opportunity and ascertain whether the synergy causes an increase in value. Analysts also value the target company in order to make an offer for the purchase based on their valuation estimates among other factors.
Portfolio managers and individual investors that actively manage their portfolios and investments use various valuation techniques to continuously evaluate attractive opportunities.
Startups use valuation methods to estimate a value for their company which in turn is used while raising investment for their business from venture capitalists, angel investors and other private investors.
The valuation needs of a company from a tax perspective are driven by tax compliance, deferral and minimization. Entities often require independent valuation services to avoid unnecessary tax repercussions
Valuation needs from a financial reporting perspective are primarily driven by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that the company has adopted (for eg, US GAAP or IFRS). Some of the most frequent valuation engagements performed for financial reporting purposes include fair value measurement and equity-based compensation.
In corporate restructurings, an independent valuation of a company is critical for guiding decision making especially when there are multiple stakeholders involved. A special case of the corporate restructuring includes a distressed company valuation.
While estimating/calculating the valuation of a company, it is important to arrive at a possible number by using more than one approach. This is done to provide confidence and reaffirm the accuracy of the valuation.
There are three approaches to valuation:
Converts future cash flows generated over the remaining useful life to a current value, through the application of a discount rate that reflects the time value of money and risk.
Compares the business in question to similar businesses in the industry that have available market data.
Values a business as the sum of the values of its individual assets and liabilities.
Each of the above approaches have different valuation techniques within them. Our valuation analysts take more than one approach to valuation and use different techniques within those approaches to give our clients the best valuation estimate or even a range for reference. Our final product is not a mere excel sheet but a detailed report that clearly describes the company’s business model, industry, total market and the approach we followed to arrive at a particular valuation.
Few of the most widely used valuation techniques include
We will build a comprehensive valuation model for your company in Excel using 3-4 appropriate techniques and arrive at a reasonable range for an estimated value of your company. You can also opt to receive a detailed valuation report for a comprehensive account of the underlying assumptions, methodology and rationale adopted to arrive at the said valuation. You can view a sample of the valuation report here.
The time taken varies from project to project. Most of the time spent on a project is driven by the groundwork we have to do which includes information gathering from company stakeholders, the complexity of business structure and the quality of financial documents provided. For instance, a simple valuation model for a startup company with one product/service can be delivered as early as 5-7 days.
Our pricing mechanism isn’t one-size-fits-all and we review each project’s scope individually to quote a price. Some models, like the startup valuation model and report will cost differently to a M&A valuation model.
