Applied Valuations is a leading independent provider of business valuation services
Business valuation is impacted by multiple factors such as the company’s industry, stage of development and cost of capital for the company. Additionally, the objective of business valuations, influence of local jurisdictional rules and available valuation methods further bring in more complexity into the valuation. At the core of our team is a fundamental understanding of business valuation complemented with in-depth industry expertise.
The foundation of business valuation is the ability to understand how a company generates ideas and deploys its invested capital, aiming to drive returns incremental of its cost of capital. Value creation of a company may follow different paths, based on the industry and the company’s position in its life cycle. In our valuation approach we critically evaluate the above parameters, whether we are performing a valuation analysis for financial reporting, tax, M&A, strategic planning, business restructuring, or dispute and litigation purposes.
The most commonly used valuation methods include the cost, market or income (DCF) approaches. While the cost approach may be applied in specific circumstances, the income and market approaches are the most commonly utilized in business valuation. The income approach measures value based upon the present value of future cash flows of the business enterprise, while the market approach relies upon the application of market multiples of comparable companies or comparable transactions to the subject company.
Though the prescribed approaches may be standard, our expertise lies in the ability to apply these tools in an effective manner, utilizing professional judgment. This type of insight is gained over years of experience across the spectrum of company life cycles, industries, and valuation purposes, and also calls for a in-depth understanding of regulators’ and other stakeholders’ requirements and expectations.
