Business Valuation
Evaluating means informing strategic decisions through the knowledge of value, not through the illusion of price.
We estimate the “Indicative” fair value of your company based on robust analyses (DCF, multiples, return value, etc.), with a documented and defensible report with third parties (banks, investors, authorities).

What is a business valuation?
Evaluating a company means analysing its past performance, future prospects and market environment in order to identify defensible value. This approach allows you to make strategic decisions to secure your operations.
Step 1
Scope of the mission
Define the purpose, context and specific objectives of the evaluation to frame the mission.
Step 2
Document collection
Gather the financial, legal and social information necessary for the analysis.
Step 3
Modeling
Apply appropriate methods to estimate the value and performance of the company.
Step 4
Preliminary report
Structure the results obtained in a clear, synthetic and reasoned document.
Step 5
Presentation of the results
Share the initial conclusions with the client and discuss the hypotheses adopted.
Step 6
Update the model
Update the template and report based on feedback and new items available.
Step 7
Final report
Finalize, validate and submit the complete report, usable in various contexts.
Why and when to carry out a business valuation?
Business valuation is a lever for supporting or re-examining growth, transfer or reorganization directions.
Succession planning
Determine an objective market value to prepare a sale, an inheritance or a donation by reducing uncertainty during negotiations.
fundraiser
Align founders and investors with a well-founded, credible valuation that is consistent with the investment thesis.
Acquisition
Objectify the target value, avoid overvaluations and structure a defensible offer through a market benchmark.
Tax & legal
Justify the value in intragroup transfers, document transfer prices and limit the risks of requalification.
Strategic management
Measure value creation, adjust investments/divestitures and strengthen governance through clear indicators.
Banking relationships
Support access to credit through a structured assessment and audited financial aggregates.
Business valuation methods
We use several complementary methods in order to guarantee solid and consistent results:
- Stock market and transaction multiples:
Compare the company to market references (listed or recent deals). - Yield value:
Relies on the company's long-term earning capacity. - Substantial value:
assesses the net value of the company's assets. - The practitioner's method:
Combines return value and substantial value. - Discounted Cash Flows (DCF):
Measures value based on expected future cash flows. - Actual options:
Integrates strategic flexibility (uncertain projects, sequential decisions).
