Whether you’re raising capital, buying or selling, granting equity, or reporting to a board, a rigorous corporate valuation gives you a number you can defend. We apply institutional methods, scaled for private companies.
Engagements
Corporate valuations support high-stakes decisions where the number has to be independent and defensible. These are the situations we’re engaged for most.
Buy-side or sell-side, we value the target so you negotiate price and structure from rigorous analysis, not the other side’s number.
Investors and lenders want a supportable valuation. We provide the analysis that backs your raise or financing package.
Defensible valuations to support stock grants, option strikes, and 409A-style equity-comp decisions for growing companies.
Purchase price allocation, goodwill, and fair-value support for your finance team and auditors.
Independent value opinions for buy-sell agreements, shareholder disputes, and dissenting-shareholder matters.
Valuations for ownership transfers, gifting, and succession planning, documented to IRS standards.
Methodology
We reconcile the three institutional approaches rather than leaning on a single shortcut — the same discipline used by investment banks and PE firms, sized for the private market.
We project the company’s free cash flow and discount it at a risk-appropriate rate — the core income approach for stable, profitable businesses.
We benchmark valuation multiples against public and private peers to ground the number in what the market actually pays.
We analyze what comparable companies have sold for, the most relevant lens when a transaction is on the table.
We adjust for owner compensation, one-time items, and non-operating assets to reveal true, transferable earning power.

Corporate and private-company valuation work is most useful when the purpose is clear. We scope the analysis to a transaction, capital decision, governance question, or equity event and explain what the conclusion does—and does not—answer.
Expect a documented scope, normalized financial information, market and income approaches as appropriate, key assumptions, a value conclusion or range, and a management readout.
Typical inputs include financial statements, forecasts, ownership and capitalization details, debt, material contracts, customer concentration, and the facts driving the intended use.
A valuation is not automatically an audit, review, attestation, legal opinion, fairness opinion, or investment recommendation. Required standards and users are confirmed before engagement.
