Valuation of business entities

Due to its interdisciplinary character and frequent significance to a company’s strategic decisions, the process of valuation of business entities requires broad but in-depth knowledge of finance and economics, and extensive experience not only in the financial market but also mostly in business. 

In the case of valuation, we offer you our entire considerable experience and expertise. We make valuations with the use of International Valuation Standards and, depending on the situation, we can apply the ASA Business Valuation Standard, European Valuation Standards, rules in accordance with EVCA (International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines) and principles arising from applicable accounting regulations (the Accounting Act, IAS and IFRS, US GAAP).

With the support of statutory auditors and tax advisors from our Group, we undertake to valuate any entity or subject.

Our work in the valuation of business entities includes:

• Valuation of limited companies and partnerships,
• Valuation of business activities,
• Valuation of an organised or isolated part of a company.

In order to valuate business entities we use:

1. DCF methods:

• FCFF – Free Cash Flow to the Firm,
• FCFE – Free Cash Flow to Equity,
• APV – Adjusted Present Value.

2. Asset-based methods:

• Corrected net assets,
• Liquidation value,
• Replacement value.

3.  Comparative methods:

• Stock-exchange multiples,
• Comparable transactions multiples,

4. Real Option Valuation.

We valuate business entities for the purposes of:

• Purchase/sale transactions,
• Mergers and restructuring,
