Do You Need to Know How to Value Shares in a Private Company?

We are happy to explain the process and what you would need to provide, so why not phone the office on 01425 402 402. In the meanwhile you may find the information below to be useful...

Many sectors have an industry specific formula for valuing the business based on a multiple of net profits. R A Valuation Services Limited can provide the multiple for your sector, and calculate a share price valuation based on the business' trading performance.

It may be a certain multiple of adjusted net profit, in which case the valuation and share price calculation can be relatively simple. If the business is successful and demonstrates a growing trading trend, and/or it has a unique system that sets it apart from the competition, it can increase the multiple.

Other methodologies for valuing shares in private company include industry specific valuations, asset valuations and discounted cash flow. Click here for more information on valuation methodologies.

Bear in mind that the market value (or even selling price) is what someone is willing to pay. Perhaps uniquely, R A Valuation Services Limited holds and updates a database of previously achieved open market sale prices to verify and justify any approach to valuation taken.
