Value is driven by financial performance, cash flow quality, customer concentration, industry conditions, and operational stability. Adjusted EBITDA and market multiples also play key roles. We analyze revenue trends, risks, and sustainability to determine true economic performance. Our process ensures each factor is weighed objectively in the final valuation.
We use income-based approaches (DCF), market-based comparisons, and asset-based methods depending on the business type. Multiple methods are applied to validate results and improve accuracy. Each method is documented so you understand how value was determined. This creates a defensible valuation you can rely on for negotiations or planning.
Most valuations take one to three weeks depending on complexity and document availability. Businesses with multiple locations or inconsistent records may require additional time. We provide a clear timeline at the start and maintain communication throughout. The goal is accuracy without delaying decisions.
Typically, we review tax returns, financial statements, bank records, payroll reports, revenue detail, and operational documents that affect cash flow. Additional information may be needed for certain industries or transactions. Each document is cross-checked for accuracy and consistency. This ensures the valuation is grounded in verified data.
