Defensible company valuations using DCF, comparable companies, precedent transactions and asset-based methods. Built for fundraising, M&A, buy/sell decisions and strategic planning. The kind of valuation a VC, board or counter-party doesn't push back on twice.

Valuation Methods We Use: Four Approaches, Triangulated Into One Defensible Range
Every serious business valuation cross-checks at least three independent methods. We run all four, then explain why they converge, or why they don't.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
A full DCF analysis: projected free cash flows over a 5–10 year horizon, terminal value via Gordon Growth or exit-multiple, WACC built up from your real capital structure. Defensible at the bps level: every assumption traceable, every cell linked.
Comparable Company Analysis
Trading multiples from a curated peer set: EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, P/E, EV/Gross Profit, calibrated for size, growth, geography and margin profile. We show the range, the median, and the reason your company sits where it sits.
Precedent Transactions
Recent M&A transactions in your sector with disclosed multiples. We screen for relevance (strategic vs. financial buyers, control premiums, deal structure) and triangulate to a defensible transaction-implied range.
Asset-Based Valuation
For asset-heavy businesses, holding companies, or wind-down scenarios: adjusted net asset value, replacement cost, liquidation value. Cross-checked against earnings-based methods to expose hidden value or hidden risk on the balance sheet.

When You Need a Valuation: Five Moments a Defensible Valuation Earns Its Keep
A company valuation service isn't always a deal, but it's always a moment when one number, defended well, changes the outcome.
Capital event
Fundraising round
Pre-money or post-money valuation defense for a Seed, Series A or Series B raise. We build the model behind the number so when a VC pushes back on your multiple, your CEO can answer with the underlying math, not a pitch deck slide.
M&A transaction
Selling or buying a company
Sell-side: defensible asking price plus the range you're willing to negotiate to. Buy-side: independent ceiling before you submit an LOI. Either way, a third-party valuation buyers and lenders take seriously.
Liquidity event
Buy/sell decision between owners
Partner buyouts, divorce-driven liquidations, succession events. We produce a written valuation report that holds up under scrutiny from the other side's lawyer and accountant. The cheapest insurance you'll buy this year.
Governance
Shareholder agreement
Setting the formula in a shareholder agreement, drag-along, tag-along or ESOP. We benchmark methodology against market standard and document the calculation so the spreadsheet still works five years from now.
Strategic
Strategic planning
Internal valuations to track equity value over time, support board decisions, model option strike prices, or pressure-test whether a business unit is worth keeping. Same rigor as a transaction valuation, kept inside the building.
What You Receive: The Deliverables, in One Engagement
A complete valuation package, not just a number in an email. Every artifact is built to be re-opened, defended and updated.
1
Full valuation report
A written 20–40 page valuation report covering scope, methodology, peer set construction, key assumptions, the four valuation methods, sensitivity analysis, and a final concluded range with a single point estimate.
2
Defensible assumptions
Every WACC component, every growth rate, every margin assumption is sourced and footnoted. When a VC, lender or counter-party challenges a number, you can show exactly where it came from in under 30 seconds.
3
Sensitivity analysis
Two-way sensitivity tables and tornado charts showing how the valuation moves with discount rate, terminal growth, exit multiple and operating assumptions. So you walk into negotiations knowing the floor, the ceiling, and the breaking points.
4
Board-ready presentation
A 10–15 slide deck summarizing the report for boards, investment committees, or counter-parties. Designed to be opened in a meeting and understood without further explanation.
Why ex-Big 4 Matters: A Valuation Consultant the Other Side Has to Take Seriously
Investor and board acceptance
VCs, PE funds, lenders and boards are conditioned to recognize Big-4 valuation structure on sight. A valuation that looks like the ones their analysts produce is a valuation they push back on less.
Methodology that survives diligence
Diligence teams will pull every assumption apart. Big-4 training (the world's largest professional services firms) optimizes for exactly that: every number sourced, every formula transparent, every output explainable in a single sentence.
Range, not a single fragile number
A defensible valuation isn't one number; it's a range with explicit drivers. We deliver the range plus the operational levers that move it, so you can negotiate from data rather than emotion.
Pricing: Fixed-Fee Engagements from $1,499
Productized starting tier from $1,499 for early-stage and single-entity companies. Full valuation engagements are quoted as a fixed fee scoped to the transaction (number of entities, data quality, methodology depth, and report format). No hourly billing surprises.
Typical turnaround: 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to final report. Rush timelines available for live transaction calendars.
