Valuation is an essential part of mergers and acquisitions, as both the buyer and seller are guided to reach the final transaction price. The primary valuation methods that are used for valuation are as follows:
- Discounted cash flow (DCF) method – the target’s value is calculated based on future cash flow and is generally used for healthy companies generating a profit.
- Comparable company analysis – identifying similar valuation metrics for public companies to determine the value of the target
- Comparable transaction analysis – identifying closed transactions within the past five years to find the fair market value

Frequently Asked Questions
While these are the most common questions we receive at A Neumann & Associates, LLC, we’d be happy to address your specific questions.
Is the date of a business valuation important?
Yes, the date of a business valuation is essential. Valuations for financial reporting and tax purposes are typically completed by the deadline. So, the valuations for mergers and acquisitions, financing, or other transactions must meet the requirements of all parties.
What information is needed to perform a business valuation?
To provide an accurate valuation, we will need the following documents: tax returns, profit and loss statements, interim profit & loss statements and balance sheets for the current year, balance sheets and tax returns for the last four to five years, and copies of any forecast, or projections. In addition, we will request a list of significant assets and inventory, information describing the company’s services and products, and reports by other consultants or professionals.
Can a business have more than one value?
Yes, at a single point in time, a business can have multiple values. A company can have different values for a willing buyer with no benefits versus a strategic buyer that may enhance value. A business’s value is determined by the price a hypothetical, ready, and willing buyer will pay.
