The Market Approach utilizes market prices of comparable companies to approximate the value of a company. In the valuation methods under the Market Approach, the price for a comparable company is expressed as a multiple of various measures of profitability and financial position.
The data sources along with the available multiples for each method are listed below. Each method can include up to records of transaction data :. The application of market and transaction data in BVS for each of the databases utilizes the following procedures:. The Income Approach estimates value by considering the income benefit streams generated by the business over a period of time.
This approach is based on the fundamental valuation principle that the value of a business is equal to the present worth of the future benefits of ownership. The various business valuation approaches and methods provide different and sometimes conflicting indications of value. One of the primary duties of a valuation analyst is to review these value indications and reconcile them into a conclusion of value. An independent and objective valuation eschews the notion of cherry-picking the value indications that support and favor the needs or bias of the client.
Furthermore, before the values can be rationally reconciled, each value needs to be at the same level of value. MoneySoft Business Valuation Specialist facilitates the selection of value and the reconciliation of selected value indications into a rational conclusion.
The software includes an iterative process that properly allocates the Adjusted Enterprise-Level Equity Value between voting and non-voting shares. Once the analyst selects an appropriate Premium for voting shares, the system will calculate the value for the voting and non-voting interests.
The solution will be a per-share value for both groups that when multiplied by the total number of shares in that group and added together will equal the Adjusted Enterprise-Level Equity Value. The mere application of a Premium to arrive at the voting share value is an oversimplification and produces a result that does not total correctly. The justification is also referred to as a test of value, reality check or sanity check.
The hypothetical terms and assumptions used in the justification of value as well as the metrics they yield are as follows:. The justification uses Adjusted Enterprise-Level Equity Value because the benefit streams that are used to evaluate reasonability are, in fact, Enterprise Level. To use Enterprise-Level benefit streams to evaluate a Shareholder non-controlling Level Value would tend to provide a false validation of reasonability.
Dilution can also be applied to the Value Per Share. The process is described as follows:. The supporting schedules provide all the details of the analysis and valuation.
