The Valuation report derived will be based on the information provided the company and gathered by means of inquiry. The computation and analysis intends to provide reasonable grounds for valuing the business as a going concern. The reader is expected to exercise professional judgement when using the report to initiate any business transaction or relationship with the company.

Valuation will determine the expected price that a buyer may potentially pay for your business. However, the real price will be determined when the business transaction is closed and value that the buyer has paid for the business.

Valuation figure determined is to provide you with a broad estimate based on many variables. It does not confirm the price your business will be sold at, however, gives best estimated value of your business.

No. Your business valuation is for your reference only. Only, if you want us to share the value of your business on your listing, we will do so.

Valuation is generally valid only for the valuation date indicated on the report and for the purpose stated. The businesses are recommended to conduct valuation every 6 months.

It is important to consider future prospect of the business from both Sellers as well as Buyer’s perspective. Seller is interested to show the business potential in terms of growth prospects and as a result wants a higher business valuation. Whereas, the Buyer wants to evaluate the risks and opportunities going forward.

Intangible assets like goodwill, brand, trademarks and copyrights, intellectual property, royalty, software rights, etc. plays an important role in valuing a business. These are generally valued at acquisition costs.

If the business has significant amount of off-balance sheet liabilities, such as derivatives transactions, long-term lease agreements, the valuation should reflect these off-balance sheet liabilities.

Yes, the valuation shall consider the potential to expand capacity or any such business or operational flexibilities that is offered by a particular business.

A running business shall be valued as a going concern. The valuation here shall be estimated based on its current cash flow, growth of cash flow, value of assets and liabilities and its capital investment. A dormant business on the other hand generally does not have cash flow or the cash flow does not originate from business operations, for example rent of property. In such cases the valuation of the firm shall be estimated considering market value of its fixed asset and adjusting that for any liability.

To conduct the valuation of the business, we will require all the necessary documents listed in this section.

The business valuation can help you improve the way you manage your business let alone to determine the Business worth. A business valuation can help you achieve the following :

• Determine asking price of your company

Valuing goodwill or a brand developed in-house (i.e. by incurring marketing expenditure, ensuring quality and meeting consumer expectations and perceptions) is always a challenge.
The brand in order to have implications for valuation of a firm/business shall pass through two tests:

• the brand must result into higher sales for the company compared to its competitors
• per unit price of the product that the company realises must be higher than similar products offered by competition.
