When assessing the value of a business, we normally use the discounted cash flow (DCF) method, which, in comparison with other valuation approaches, is considered to have greater accuracy and predictive ability. This is because it works with the actual projected cash flows of the given business, rather than with just the income and expenses shown on accounting records. The DCF approach is built around the anticipated future income and expenses of the given business with the initial cash flow derived from financial statements.
Our company strictly adheres to the use of the latest international standards as applied to these types of valuations. Our in-house staff includes experienced appraisers, as well as court-appointed experts, with a wide range of areas of expertise.
Depending on the needs of our client, we normally assess both a market value and an investment value as part of our valuations. The general rule in selling a business is that the transaction only goes through if the seller has priced the entity at a value that makes it attractive to the buyer.
