​Startup Business Valuation

At Professional Business Plans, we worked with many startup businesses and know that one of the main hurdles in starting a new venture is the lack of capital. While most common types of funding for startups are founders’ own money, contributions from family and friends, bank loans and government grants; larger sums come from professional early stage investors such as angels and private equity investors.

Our startup business valuation service can help both entrepreneurs and early stage investors. It will determine a potential business value to indicate to the founders what business stake it is necessary to sell to obtain the required startup funding. It will also assist investors in deciding whether to invest in the targeted business and how much.

Startup values can be determined by a number of valuation approaches and methods, yet no one valuation technique is definitive. Therefore, in our startup valuations, we use a combination of various methods, including Discounted Cash Flow, Comparative Transaction, Cost to Create and Rule of Thumb techniques.

For more information on our valuations for both startups and established businesses, please contact to our valuation division, Professional Business Valuers.
