COMPANY VALUATION
Company Valuation is the general process of determining a company’s current worth, economic or fair value. It is usually conducted during the sale, merger or acquisition of a company (or even a part of it). Something that has become popular these days is to also value startups before investors decide to fund the company. Businesses usually seek the help of professional evaluators or M&A analysts to estimate the most reasonable value for their business. The valuation process is holistic in nature and includes an analysis of the company’s management, its capital structure, its future earnings prospects or the market value of its assets.

DO YOU NEED A VALUATION FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
People usually mistake valuation to be a process only needed during the sale or merger of a company but valuation has more uses than that. Following are some of the most common use cases
Valuation modeling is usually performed to value the pre and post merger company in order to evaluate the merger opportunity and ascertain whether the synergy causes an increase in value. Analysts also value the target company in order to make an offer for the purchase based on their valuation estimates among other factors.
Portfolio managers and individual investors that actively manage their portfolios and investments use various valuation techniques to continuously evaluate attractive opportunities.
Startups use valuation methods to estimate a value for their company which in turn is used while raising investment for their business from venture capitalists, angel investors and other private investors
The valuation needs of a company from a tax perspective are driven by tax compliance, deferral and minimization. Entities often require independent valuation services to avoid unnecessary tax repercussions
Valuation needs from a financial reporting perspective are primarily driven by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that the company has adopted (for eg, US GAAP or IFRS). Some of the most frequent valuation engagements performed for financial reporting purposes include fair value measurement and equity-based compensation.
In corporate restructurings, an independent valuation of a company is critical for guiding decision making especially when there are multiple stakeholders involved. A special case of the corporate restructuring includes a distressed company valuation.
