Why a Professional Business Valuation Matters

A sound business valuation provides the foundation for strategic decisions whether for a merger, acquisition, succession or financing. It reveals what a business is worth today and how its future earnings and cash flows may evolve.
By combining modern valuation methods with financial logic and operational insight, we make the company’s value transparent, consistent, and easy to understand.

Balancing Present and Future Perspectives

We look beyond current figures to include future cash flows, earnings, and market value – the basis of a realistic company valuation.

Understanding & Applying the Income Approach

The income approach determines the value of a company based on expected future income, discounted to present value using a discount rate or capitalization rate.

Multiple Methods for a Consistent Result

We combine several business valuation methods including the discounted cash flow model, asset-based valuation, and market-based valuation using multiple metrics such as EBITDA or revenue multiples. This creates a comprehensive valuation analysis and reliable picture of the enterprise value.

Transparency Through Clear Calculation

Our valuation process illustrates, step by step, how value is calculated.
Every assumption is documented and justified, ensuring full transparency and accepted valuation standards for valuation professionals and stakeholders.

Ensuring Objectivity and Consistency

While every valuation includes assumptions, a structured valuation methodology and verified market data ensure fair value, objectivity, and consistency. This approach guarantees a fair market value that withstands scrutiny.

A Solid Basis for Buyers and Sellers

Whether you’re a business owner or investor, an accurate business valuation defines the value of your business, identifies risk, and supports decision-making.

Business Valuation Methods

Different ways to value are used to determine a company’s worth from various perspectives. Each method is based on its own financial logic and contributes to building a realistic and comprehensive view of enterprise value.

Income Approach

The income-based valuation method determines enterprise value based on the company’s expected future earnings, discounted to present value using a capitalization rate. This valuation approach is often used to reflect the time value of money and provides a forward-looking measure of business value.

It’s particularly suitable for businesses with predictable cash flows and strong financial performance.

Market Multiple Approach

Under the multiple method, company value is derived using a multiplier such as EBITDA or revenue. This approach compares similar companies within the same industry and provides a fast, market-oriented estimate of value.

Each of these business valuation methods has its strengths.
This approach is often used to use the market approach when establishing an estimate of value for public companies and private firms alike.

Asset-Based Approach

The asset-based approach (or asset-based valuation) calculates book value by adding up all business assets and subtracting liabilities. It reflects the value of its assets based on balance sheet data and helps determine liquidation value and net asset value for the subject company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which accounting standards do you apply?

Depending on the engagement, we align our valuations with IDW S1 and IVS and reflect the reporting requirements of HGB, IFRS, or US GAAP.

Which valuation methods do you use?

We apply DCF and income-based valuation methods, market and transaction multiples, and plausibility checks. The choice of method depends on the purpose of the valuation and the quality of the available data.

What data is required?

We typically request historical financial statements, budgets and forecasts, segment data, key contracts, workforce information, order backlog (if applicable), and an overview of the capital structure. A detailed data request list is provided at project start.
