How to get your Business Valued?
There are three common approaches for valuing a business.
A method to estimate the fair value of a company/business based on future cash flows. The DCF analysis finds the present value of expected future cash flows using a discount rate. This discount rate used is the appropriate Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) that reflects the risk of the cash flows.
At any given time, stock prices normally reflect all available information on a particular company and industry. Hence, trading companies provide the best estimate for valuing a similar company. Based on the average multiples such as P/E, EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, P/B, etc. calculated for all the companies similar to the one being valued, the same is used to calculate its enterprise value.
The method is widely used to value a company during an acquisition. Similar to the above methods, but the comparables consists of companies that have previously undergone a takeover. In takeovers, the buyer pays a control premium, hence the company is valued at a higher rate.
