How much is my business worth? How is the value of my business developing from year to year? How do I optimise the value of my business? How do I quantify future cash flows?

Where formerly the value of a business could be calculated on the back of a beer mat - for example by the weighted average of the net asset value and the intrinsic value - the calculations are becoming ever more complex. The DCF (discounted cash flow) method is the method most commonly used in this respect. Forecast free cash flows are converted into cash – as regards the costs of the assets, this is calculated out using Weighted Average Cost of Capital, abbreviated to: the WACC.

We help you monitor the value of your business. From year to year we calculate adjustments in the accounting assumptions for you and inform you of these in a clear report. We discuss with you the level of the WACC and why this has been determined in this way. We advise on the asset and financing structure and related dividend policy. But of course you have also come to the right address with us for stand-alone valuations.

In short, we answer your questions, but cannot of course give any guarantee that the calculated value will also be paid by a potential buyer. After all there is good reason why it is said that the right value has been determined when the buyer thinks "I am paying a bit too much" and the seller thinks "I am receiving a bit too little".
