– How It Works –
Business Valuation Services
We produce a data-driven valuation using sophisticated software and big data – alongside inputs from your business plan and financial projections – to determine your valuation using five different valuation methods.
We use a weighted average of these valuations determined by your stage of development to form your overall company value. This gives you a third-party independent assessment of your company valuation and a better negotiating position with investors.
Scorecard Method
This method assesses a startup’s qualitative traits in comparison to a set of comparable companies. Each trait is scored and weighted, impacting the startup’s pre-money valuation.
Checklist Method
Here we value businesses and startups based on intangible criteria. The startup’s qualitative traits are evaluated against ideal traits, determining portions of the maximum pre-money valuation.
VC Method
The VC method calculates a startup’s valuation to ensure investors receive an adequate return at a future projected exit. It uses industry-based EBITDA multiples and adjusts for risk and development stage.
Discounted Cash Flow with Long-Term Growth
Discount Cash Flow methods calculate a startup’s valuation by discounting projected free cash flows to equity based on risk factors, industry, size, and profitability. The long-term growth approach assumes perpetual growth of cash flows beyond projections and calculates the valuation accordingly.
Discounted Cash Flow with Multiples
A common approach in private company valuation, this valuation method discounts future cash flows based on risk factors, industry, size, and profitability. However, the multiples approach computes the valuation based on industry EBITDA multiples, assuming it equals the exit value of the company.
The use of several business valuation methods is best practice because looking at the business from different perspectives gives a more comprehensive and reliable view. Our methods are compliant with IPEV (International Private Equity Valuation) Guidelines.

Why Use Business Valuation Services?
A free online business valuation calculator can give you a good idea of the value of your business, but if you’re seeking investment, and developing your pitch assets, you will need a more robust valuation to back you up in investor negotiations.
Startups and small businesses seeking investment should really consider using a company that specialises in creating business valuations for investment pitching.
A professionally prepared valuation adds credibility and transparency to your fundraising efforts, instilling confidence in potential investors. It also ensures that you don’t undervalue your business, allowing you to negotiate favourable terms.
A robust valuation also helps you align your funding goals with realistic expectations as well as demonstrate a commitment to sound financial planning, which can be a valuable asset when attracting investors who seek well-prepared, data-driven investment opportunities.
In a competitive investment landscape, a well-executed business valuation can make your business stand out and increase your chances of securing the capital needed for growth.
