—Frequently asked questions
Answers to your questions
What is a company valuation and what is it for?
The valuation of a company is the process of estimating its economic value based on financial information, business characteristics and future prospects. It can be used to prepare a sale, incorporate investors, negotiate between partners, plan a business succession or make strategic decisions.
What methods are used to value a company?
The most common methods include discounted cash flows, multiples of comparable companies or operations and, in certain cases, asset or equity-based methods. The appropriate methodology depends on the sector, size, financial situation and specific characteristics of each company.
When should I value my company?
It is advisable to carry out a valuation before selling the company, seeking investment, incorporating or exiting partners or undertaking certain corporate operations. It can also be used periodically to understand the evolution of business value and support strategic decisions.
What information does the expert need to value my company?
Normally the annual accounts, historical results, debt, assets, financial forecasts and main business indicators are analyzed. Aspects such as clients, contracts, team, competitive position, sector, risks and growth prospects are also relevant.
What should I consider when choosing a business valuation expert or consultancy?
It is advisable to assess their experience in similar companies and operations, knowledge of the sector and mastery of different valuation methodologies. It is also important that you explain the assumptions used and be able to clearly and objectively justify the conclusions of your analysis.
What errors are most common when valuing an SME and how do they affect the final price?
Common mistakes include using unrealistic forecasts, ignoring risks or debt, applying inappropriate multiples, or confusing value and price. These failures can overvalue or undervalue the business and subsequently make it difficult to negotiate with buyers or investors.
How long does it take to value and then sell an SME?
A valuation can take several weeks, depending on the complexity of the business and the quality of the information available. The sale usually requires more time and can last for several months due to the search for buyers, negotiation, due diligence and formalization of the operation.
