Engagements

When You Need a Corporate Valuation

Corporate valuations support high-stakes decisions where the number has to be independent and defensible. These are the situations we’re engaged for most.

M&A & Transactions

Buy-side or sell-side, we value the target so you negotiate price and structure from rigorous analysis, not the other side’s number.

💰

Investors and lenders want a supportable valuation. We provide the analysis that backs your raise or financing package.

📊

Equity Compensation

Defensible valuations to support stock grants, option strikes, and 409A-style equity-comp decisions for growing companies.

📋

Financial Reporting

Purchase price allocation, goodwill, and fair-value support for your accountants and auditors.

⚖️

Shareholder & Disputes

Independent value opinions for buy-sell agreements, shareholder disputes, and dissenting-shareholder matters.

🏭

Estate & Succession

Valuations for ownership transfers, gifting, and succession planning, documented to IRS standards.

Methodology

How We Value a Company

We reconcile the three institutional approaches rather than leaning on a single shortcut — the same discipline used by investment banks and PE firms, sized for the private market.

Discounted Cash Flow

We project the company’s free cash flow and discount it at a risk-appropriate rate — the core income approach for stable, profitable businesses.

Comparable Companies

We benchmark valuation multiples against public and private peers to ground the number in what the market actually pays.

Precedent Transactions

We analyze what comparable companies have sold for, the most relevant lens when a transaction is on the table.

Normalized Earnings

We adjust for owner compensation, one-time items, and non-operating assets to reveal true, transferable earning power.

FAQ

Corporate Valuation — FAQ

What is the difference between business valuation and corporate valuation?

They overlap — both estimate what a company is worth. “Corporate valuation” usually implies a larger or more complex entity and engagements like M&A, capital raises, equity compensation, and financial reporting, using DCF, comparable-company, and precedent-transaction analysis.

How is a company valued?

We reconcile three approaches: discounted cash flow (income), comparable companies (market multiples), and precedent transactions. We normalize earnings for owner comp and one-time items, then weight the methods to your situation.

How much does a corporate valuation cost?

It depends on size, complexity, and purpose. Most engagements range from a few thousand dollars for a transaction-readiness valuation to more for litigation or reporting work. We quote a flat fee after scoping.

Do you provide 409A and equity compensation valuations?

Yes. We deliver defensible valuations to support option strike prices, stock grants, and equity-comp decisions for growing private companies.

How long does a corporate valuation take?

Typically 2–4 weeks after we receive financials and an operations overview. Transaction and reporting deadlines can be accommodated with rush turnarounds.
