Understanding Business Valuation
Why Accurate Valuation Matters for Companies and Investors
Details
Introduction
Business valuation is a critical exercise for companies, investors, and stakeholders. Whether it’s raising capital, planning mergers, succession, or regulatory compliance, an accurate valuation lays the foundation for sound decision-making. At B.G. Shetty & Co., we approach valuation with precision, regulatory understanding, and a deep commitment to objectivity.
Why Accurate Business Valuation Matters
-
Strategic Decision-Making: A reliable valuation helps business owners plan for expansion, restructuring, mergers, or exits with confidence.
-
Investor Confidence: Investors, lenders, and potential partners rely heavily on professional valuations to assess risk and opportunity.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Valuation reports are often mandatory under regulations such as the Companies Act, 2013 and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
-
Dispute Resolution: In shareholder disputes, legal proceedings, or estate settlements, independent valuation supports fair and enforceable outcomes.
Key Valuation Methods
-
Asset-Based Approach: Assesses the fair market value of assets minus liabilities — often used for asset-heavy businesses.
-
Income-Based Approach: Projects future cash flows and discounts them to present value — suitable for ongoing businesses.
-
Market-Based Approach: Compares the business to similar companies in the industry — ideal when sufficient comparable data exists.
Professional judgment is essential in selecting and applying the appropriate method based on business realities.
