– 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.

Method One

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.

Method Two

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.

Method Three

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.

Method Four

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.

Method Five

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.

Where Does Business Valuation Fit Into Investment Readiness?

For startups seeking investment, business valuation plays a pivotal role within the broader context of investment readiness. Here’s how it fits in:

Business valuation helps startups set realistic investment targets. By knowing the true worth of the company, entrepreneurs can approach potential investors with a clear understanding of how much equity they are willing to part with in exchange for funding. This ensures that negotiations are grounded in data and transparency.

Accurate valuation attracts the right investors. Investors are more likely to take an interest in startups that demonstrate a well-thought-out valuation, as it reflects a commitment to sound financial planning. This can help attract investors who are aligned with the startup’s goals and vision.

A precise valuation empowers startups to negotiate favourable investment terms. Armed with a credible valuation report, entrepreneurs can engage in negotiations from a position of strength, safeguarding their equity while securing the necessary capital for growth.

An independently prepared business valuation from a company like Robot Mascot enhances a startup’s credibility. It provides potential investors with confidence in the startup’s financial transparency and professionalism. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of securing investment.

For investors, a robust business valuation is crucial in making informed investment decisions. It allows them to assess the startup’s true value and potential for growth, guiding them in allocating their capital wisely among various investment opportunities.

Accurate valuation assists both startups and investors in risk mitigation. Startups can avoid overvaluation, which may lead to unrealistic expectations, while investors can assess the risks associated with their investment in relation to the expected returns.

Valuation aligns with the startup’s growth strategies. It ensures that the capital sought from investors corresponds with the company’s growth plans, whether for product development, market expansion, or scaling operations.

Let’s get you pitch ready, and give you the very best chance of success.
