Business valuation

Business valuation consists of estimating the economic value of a company. There are multiple reasons why to determine the value of a company:

• Purchase-sale transactions, where the valuation is a reference value for the purchaser and the seller. From the point of view of the buyer, it can be thought as the maximum price to pay, while from the seller’s point of view, it will be the minimum price to accept.
• Heritages and wills, in order to compare the value of the actions with other assets.
• Strategic decisions for the business, such as how to continue with a business, sell, merge, buy other businesses, growth, etc.
• Financing, for example through private investors in exchange for participation on the business.

Our focus is to determine the value through the deduction method of flow of funds, which considers the capacity of the company to generate funds for its owners.
