​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, loans and contributions from family and friends, bank loans and government grants; larger sums of money come through seed funding, incubation, angel funding and venture capital.

A prudent early stage investor would always evaluate the targeted business first to decide whether to invest in it and how much. An important outcome of the evaluation exercise is determination of the potential business value. Determining the value is equally important for a startup entrepreneur – it indicates what business stake it is necessary to sell to obtain the required startup funding.

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

For business valuations of established businesses, please contact to our valuation division, Professional Business Valuers.
