The key benefits of business valuation are: Better Knowledge of Company Assets; Understanding of Company Resale Value; Assistance during Merger & Acquisitions; Obtain a True Company Value and Access to More Investors. With the surge in business activities, valuations have occupied the centre stage. Whether it is a start-up or a big corporate house, valuations is pervasive. Right from the setting up of the business entity, during its merger and acquisitions, for obtaining long-term finance from banks / financial institutions, winding-up and for various other business purposes, valuation is an integral component. There are various vital dimensions associated with the valuation- International Valuation Standards; Guidance to Valuation; Methods used in Valuation; Valuation of Tangibles and Intangibles; Valuation during Mergers & Acquisitions etc. In order to have a holistic approach on valuation and to surmount over valuation related matters, it is extremely essential that a professional needs to be conversant with the aforesaid elements of valuation. Merely possessing the theoretical knowledge on the subject will not suffice as it is like a applied research wherein every element of valuation has a practical relevance. Moreover, depending on the magnitude, nature and scale of the business different valuation approaches needs to be embraced. Another concept that has gained steam is Business Modelling. Despite presence of various resources, i.e. finance, human, material, technology etc. in abundance if the business organisation is devoid of a robust business model then either it may not attain the desired level of performance or collapse during turbulence. Perhaps financial giants like Lehman Brothers and other investment banks would not have collapsed due to the onslaught of global economic crisis had they were having sound business models. Business models to be sustainable needs to be revised in light of the changing legal, business and economic environment. It needs to be developed by using scientific approach rather than rule of thumb. Approaches like, spreadsheet techniques, future projections, analysis of key financial ratios, cash flow analysis, estimation of maximum finance required, working capital management etc. may assist immensely in building a robust and sustainable business model. Company Secretary Profession have witnessed a drastic metamorphosis. From a ‘Glorified Clerk’, they have attained the status of ‘Governance Professionals’. In other words, the trajectory of the Company Secretary Profession have moved upward when one compares his / her role under Indian Companies Act, 1956 and Indian Companies Act, 2013. Without an iota of doubt it can be opined that Indian Companies Act, 2013 have been a game changer for the Company Secretaries. Since the role of a Company Secretary in the capacity of a ‘Registered Valuer’ has been duly recognized under the Companies Act, 2013, consequently, it has added wings to the profession. An in-depth knowledge of the subject will definitely assist a Company Secretary-in-Making to explore career opportunities in the areas of Valuations and Business Modelling. Days are gone when technical areas like valuation and business modelling were the forte of selected group of experts. Today, a Company Secretary is competent enough to undertake valuation related activities. In the era which is marked by soaring merger and acquisitions, particularly, cross-border merger and acquisitions, a iii comprehensive knowledge of the subject will play a pivotal role in understanding the finer aspects of merger and acquisitions, like valuation of tangibles, valuation of intangibles etc. Similarly during winding-up process, there is a need for valuation of various assets and in absence of proper understanding on the key concepts of valuation, it will be next to impossible for a Company Secretary to execute the valuation process. Any business be it of any magnitude, it can only attain excellence, when it is sustainable. For a business to be sustainable it needs a robust business model. Like on the rails the train runs and if the rails are of abysmal quality then there is a probability of derailment, similarly, if a company does not have a sound business model, then in the long run, the survival of the company may be difficult. Further, in this dynamic business eon, where only constant thing is change, it is extremely important that business organizations change or develop new business models as and when the need arises. For instance, if a company is operating in an industry which is having an oligopoly form of market competition and due to entry of more firms, it transforms into monopolistic form of market competition, then the business organization may have to either change or start from the scratch its business model. A Company Secretary being the ‘Key Managerial Personnel’ of the company and being an indispensable human capital of the company, it is essential that he / she must possess deep insights regarding various forms of business models, factors determining a robust business model, MS-Excel applications of various finance functions etc. In view of the aforesaid matter, this subject will act as a ‘Lighthouse’ in guiding the Company Secretaries while performing valuation and business modelling related activities.

  • Fundamentals of Corporate Valuation
    Fundamentals of Corporate Valuation Debt free cash free company valuations: what are they? Imagine a typical company which has some amount of net debt (where net debt equals debt less cash that could be applied to refinancing that debt). Imagine too that those net liabilities could magically be removed, perhaps by a magnificent benefactor or a fairy godmother – someone who could work a wonder over the company and take away its net debt. Without those net liabilities, magically the company’s value would increase. That’s the debt free cash free valuation: the value of the company imagining it had no net debt. Shares/ equity valuation vs. debt free cash free How does debt free cash free valuation compare to shares or equity value? Let’s imagine a company that has shares/ equity with a valuation of 70 million. You can see that 70 million on the right hand side of the chart below. Let’s imagine that same company had debt less cash (= net debt) of 30 million. The debt free cash free valuation would be 100 million. That’s the value on the left hand side. Equity valuation vs. DFCF 1 Equity valuations are usually higher than DFCF values For a company that has net debt (that is, where debt is greater than cash) the debt free cash free value is higher than the shares/ equity valuation for the business. You can see that in the chart above: the 100 million on the left is higher than the 70 million on the right. Working from left to right, if the owner of a company had received a debt free cash free offer of 100 million, and if net debt was 30 million, the owner would expect to receive 70 million for the shares/ equity in the business.

  • PSU Disinvestment Valuation Guidelines
    Valuation Methodology CONTENTS CHAPTER I Introduction CHAPTER II Disinvestment Commission's Recommendations CHAPTER III Valuation Methodologies being followed Standardizing the valuation approach & CHAPTER IV methodologies CHAPTER - 1 Introduction 1.1 In any sale process, the sale will materialize only when the seller is satisfied that the price given by the buyer is not less than the value of the object being sold. Determination of that threshold amount, which the seller considers adequate, therefore, is the first pre-requisite for conducting any sale. This threshold amount is called the Reserve Price. Thus Reserve Price is the threshold amount below which the seller generally perceives any offer or bid inadequate. Reserve Price in case of sale of a company is determined by carrying out valuation of the company. In companies which are listed on the Stock Exchanges, market price of the shares serves as a good benchmark for assessing the fair value of the company, though the market price is usually characterized with significant short-term variance due to investor sentiments being influenced by short-term events and environmental aspects. More importantly, most of the PSUs are either not listed on the Stock Exchanges or command extremely limited traded float. They are, therefore, not correctly valued. Thus, deciding the worth of a PSU is indeed a challenging task. 1.2 Another point worth mentioning is that valuation of a PSU is different from establishing the price for which it can be sold. Experts are of the opinion that valuation must be differentiated from price. While the fair value of an asset is based on the assessment of intrinsic value accruing from fundamentals on a stand-alone basis, varying return expectation and underlying strategic aspects for different bidders could influence the price.

  • The Process of Valuation – Placing Value on Your Business
    Article: Placing value on your business The process of valuation – Placing value on your business On a regular basis, business owners, investors and experienced bankers look for a simple way to determine business value: a rule of thumb or formula. Hoping to avoid the expense and trouble of hiring a professional valuator, a value formula common to the business type is used; thereby assuming determination of a company’s value can’t be complicated. While using a rule of thumb may be a considered alterative in developing a rough test price, it provides a weak form of market comparison for business value; relying solely on this approach poses inherent problems. However, the rule of thumb approach typically employs a multiple of cash flow (or EBITDA = Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and/or a multiple of revenues. Business valuation is the act or process of determining value of a business enterprise or ownership interest therein. Valuation of a security interest in a closely held business is a difficult process due to the lack of an active free trading market. Because of the absence of such a market, an underling notion in valuing closely held businesses is found in the investment value principle. The principle suggests the purchase of an equity interest in a closely held business should be viewed like any other investment. In essence, the “investor” not only expects to receive the initial investment back, but also receive a fair return on the investment commensurate to the risk incurred. The investment value principle can be express as a formula, illustrated as follows: Investment Value Principle Benefit Value = Risk Hodges & Hart, LLC Page 1 Certified Public Accountants Article: Placing value on your business Where, Value = the investment value of the business (present value).

  • Business Valuation Basics for Attorneys
    Journal of Business Valuation and Economic Loss Analysis Volume 1, Issue 1 2006 Article 7 Business Valuation Basics for Attorneys William P. Dukes∗ ∗Texas Tech University Copyright c 2006 The Berkeley Electronic Press. All rights reserved. Business Valuation Basics for Attorneys William P. Dukes Abstract Of all of the businesses in the Nation about .5% could be classified as actively traded, the other 99.5% require special treatment for valuation purposes. A number of the important issues are reviewed, all of which should be understood by all Attorneys who could have clients involved in business valuations. Issues are related to accounting practices, premiums, discounts of various sorts, required return, capitalization rates and proxies for variables not available. Most of the issues are illustrated in a practical valuation. Quantification of a number of the variables is illustrated as well. KEYWORDS: business valuation, income approach, valuation methodologies Dukes: Business Valuation Basics for Attorneys With more than 25 million (IRS - 2003) businesses in the U.S. and something less than 1 percent tradable in any meaningful way, valuation issues are much more important for small/closely held businesses than for large cap stocks, because the World knows about large stocks and can obtain good data on those large firms, especially those actively traded. Consequently, in this paper an effort will be made to identify some of the more important issues and indicate the source of the studies that have been made to help provide a standard method where possible. The difficulty of assessing the “value” of small companies is that some of the variables used in the valuation process for actively traded securities are not available for small/closely-held firms; therefore, proxies for these variables must be used.

    Advanced CREATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS Planning Financial Profiles Financial Underwriting Tips for Business Cases HOW TO POSITION YOUR CASE FOR SMOOTH UNDERWRITING Insurance Professionals Can Encounter Two Primary Challenges when Working with Business Owners: Convincing business owners that life insurance can help protect their business and then motivating them to take action. Getting the insurance carrier to issue the amount applied for. Once you get past the first hurdle with a signed application, you have to “make the case” to the underwriter. That’s why packaging the case from a financial underwriting perspective is critical, particularly when large amounts are being requested. Your goal should be to help the underwriter at the life insurance carrier understand the financial basis for the customer’s coverage request. Having everything in order will result in a smoother underwriting process. Use these tips to help you position your case. General Tips and Guidelines for Positioning the Case Have a clear understanding of the parameters that will be applied to a particular business situation. Familiarize yourself with the insurance company’s financial underwriting guidelines before you submit the case. If the requested amount applied for falls outside the guidelines, realize that you will need to provide additional supporting facts to win the case. These facts are outlined in the cover letter. What to Include in a Cover Letter Always submit a cover letter with documentation that addresses all the important and relevant information from the underwriter’s perspective. If your case is for key person coverage and buy-sell funding, there are additional details that you will want to include.
