VALUE ANALYSIS

The Value Analysis is a limited scope business valuation designed specifically for the “Main Street” business. with sales of $1,000,000 or less. The report is approximately 30 pages and provides a summary of how the valuation conclusion was determined. Since most main street businesses are bought and sold on a multiple of cash flow, the basis of this valuation is Seller’s Discretionary Cash Flow. The analysis considers primarily historical and current financial performance and very little time is spent with the Balance Sheet. This appraisal assumes an asset sale rather than a stock sale and assumes that current assets (except inventory) and current liabilities are excluded. The report contains the following:

  • Historical Income Statement
  • Adjusted Cash Flow Statement
  • Comparable Sales (Market Approach)
  • Summary of Common Size Financial Statistics
  • Summary Review of Each Valuation Approach
  • Valuation Conclusion and Justification

The bulk of the report is financial analysis and the valuation conclusion is based more on EBITDA rather than SDCF and spends more time on current and future financial performance of the company.
