First insights: the valuation process

So, to begin our journey, let’s talk about finance, which is a key point that impacts the pathway of any company. 

We all know that this is a broad subject, but one of the main issues is the valuation process. 

A practical example: if you own a company with $25 million in revenue or less, a business valuation can cost you anywhere from $0 (provided by a broker for free) to $40,000* (estimates based on current values at the beginning of 2024). 

There are two main types of valuations you will encounter: 

1. 1. 1. Legal valuations: Legal valuations require the valuation expert to meet specific requirements since it will be used to support legal cases. The person performing the valuation must be certified and the methods they use must follow certain legal standards.
      2. Fair market valuations: When valuing your company a number of data points are built with a few of them being How much your assets are worth The present value of your future cash flows How much common stock is worth at similar (comparable) companies How much equity your company has in other similar businesses or industries, pre and post-money valuations, what does exit value look like, what does a share price project out to be, what comps for M&A and IPO in similar space you work in has occurred, what VC valuations have been printed
