La Importancia de Conocer el Valor de tu Empresa

Descubra el valor de su empresa

Company valuation is a fundamental negotiation tool whether you are interested in selling your company or buying another. It is also increasingly used as a management tool to measure and improve shareholder value creation.

A good valuation report should include both the quantitative and qualitative arguments supporting the price defense. It is important that the valuation report is prepared by an entity of recognized prestige in the international market in order to be used as a reference by all parties.

Who does the valuation of a company?

Gracias al permanente contacto con mercados de alto crecimiento, los profesionales de Baker Tilly encargados de realizar la valuation son “dealmakers” especialistas.  

They rely on a valuation methodology that evaluates both qualitative and quantitative aspects and, once finalized, is compared with the most recent valuations in the industry to check its validity. 

Nuestros asesores expertos en valoración están siempre al día de la realidad de las transacciones, por tanto, son capaces de discernir si el valor teórico obtenido mediante la aplicación de los métodos de valoración se adecua a lo que el mercado está dispuesto a ofrecer.  
 
Existen diferentes métodos de business valuation, pero el Descuento de Flujos de Caja es uno de los más aceptados.  Es un método de valuation que parte de proyectar todos los flujos futuros de caja generados por las operaciones de la compañía, y descontándolos por la rentabilidad exigida por los inversores. 

¿Cuándo conviene valorar un negocio?

Principalmente, saber el valor de la empresa sirve para soportar la toma de decisiones en estas situaciones: 

In the face of any corporate transaction whether of the parent company or any portfolio investee:

  • In the case of a buyer, it will serve to establish the maximum price to be paid.  
  • In the case of a seller, to identify the minimum price and to understand how much different buyers will be willing to pay. 

To support those strategic decisions that are aimed at creating shareholder value, for example: 

  • Strategic planning: the assessment of the different business units allows us to decide which products, business lines, geographies, markets, etc. to maintain, strengthen or reduce. 
  • To manage the portfolio of investees and make decisions such as selling, merging, milking, buying, etc. 
  • For the identification of the levers of value to identify and prioritise value drivers.  
  • Design of a management compensation system based on the creation of value: for the purpose of aligning their objectives with those of the shareholders.

What kind of expertise does a business valuation require?

To value an organization properly, some technical knowledge of business valuation methods is necessary, but above all it is essential to have day-to-day experience in sale and purchase transactions.

This is crucial for the result to be close to market reality. In addition, the objectives of the valuation exercise must always be kept in mind, i.e., why and for whom the valuation is being done.

We continue to strengthen our existing competencies and aggressively invest in skills that enable our clients to make better transaction, capital attraction and operational optimization decisions.

As a result of our work with companies in high-growth sectors, we have acquired knowledge and experience in specific valuation methods such as:

The "Venture Capital Valuation Method" is appropriate for technology companies that are seeking an injection of capital. First, the VC must estimate the value of the company at the time of the future sale of the company. Next, the VC should consider what % stake the VC expects to hold at the time of the sale. In the third step the VC must determine his required return and finally, once the multiplier has been chosen, the multiplier required by the VC must be compared to the multiplier offered by the investment.

"How a Saas company is valued". One of the methods we use is known as Earnings-Multiple. In a public company, this tends to manifest as P/E, EV/EBITDA and EV/Sales multiples or other iterations of these core metrics. In the internet business world, investors have increasingly turned to the multiple-based methodology due to its simplicity in the face of limited financial or comparable data.
