What Does Valuation of a Company Mean?

The valuation of a company is actually defined as “determining the economic value of a business or a company.” It can be used in coming up with the fair market value of a company for a number of different reasons, such as a sale or a transfer.

But we know that business valuation can go much deeper than just the numbers. For many business owners, the company that they run represents years of personal sacrifice, and oftentimes, the company represents a substantial portion of their overall net worth.

What Business Valuation Do We Use?

When determining the value of your company, we offer five ways of valuing companies that have at least three years of prior tax returns available. The type of business that you have, along with your company profile, will typically suggest the best technique to utilize.

The valuation methods that we use include the following:

Multiple of Discretionary Earnings Method.

The multiple of discretionary earnings method determines the value of a company as a multiple of an economic benefit that is adjusted for net working capital, as well as its non-operating assets and its long-term business liabilities. Some of the key factors that are used as measurement factors here include the company’s earnings track record, competitive pressures, the business’s location, and prospects for growth of both the company and the industry overall.

Capitalization of Earnings Method.

The capitalization of earnings method calculates the net present value of a company’s anticipated future profit or cash flows. This is done by taking the business’s future earnings and dividing them by the capitalization rate, essentially determining the value of the company by looking at the current benefit of realizing cash flows now as versus in the future.

Excess of Earnings Method.

The excess of earnings method determines the value of a business by the sum of the value of its assets obtained by capitalizing excess earnings, and the value of a selected asset base. This particular method of valuing a business is also oftentimes, used for valuing intangible assets.

Discounted Future Cash Flow Method.

The discounted future cash flow method uses projections of future free cash flow and then discounts them in order to obtain an estimate of present value. This value is then used for evaluating the investment, should a potential buyer be interested in purchasing the company.

Adjusted Book Value Method.

The adjusted book value method measures a company’s value after its assets and liabilities are adjusted in order to reflect its true fair market value. This way of valuing a business can be a technique for capturing the potential equity that is available in a business.

Going Beyond the Value of Your Business.

Coming up with an accurate value of your business is important – but that is just the beginning. Once we have determined the value of your company, we go beyond the numbers, and assist you with planning your future goals. These may include any or all of the following:

  • Protecting your business from death or disability of an owner or partner
  • Setting up retirement plans for employees or key man personnel
  • Supplementing your retirement income
  • Planning your exit strategy – Buy Sell Agreements
  • Ensuring that your spouse and / or survivors have income in the future

We work with you and other professional partners such as CPAs and attorneys in order to ensure that your plan is in place in the manner that you would like for it to be.

If you are a business owner and you would like to make sure that your business continues in the manner that you intended, or if you’d like more information on getting a free business appraisal, talk to us.
