Strategic issues at the heart of every stage

Business valuation is not just a calculation; it is the pivot of your most critical decisions. Whether you are considering transactions and partnerships (disposals, acquisitions or bringing in new partners), the analysis provides a solid basis for the agreement. It is just as essential in your wealth structuring projects, notably to secure transfers by gift or division, or in internal restructurings involving contributions of shares and business lines.

A high-precision multi-criteria approach

To guarantee optimal reliability, our methodology relies on rigorous cross-analysis. We carry out intrinsic analyses covering cash flows (DCF method), earnings value and Revalued Net Assets (ANR). This internal view is systematically compared with analogical approaches based on comparative studies of recent transactions and market multiples. Finally, our contextual expertise allows us to weight these methods according to the legal and economic environment, providing a robust argument for your negotiations or in the event of a tax dispute.

The “key man” or “key woman” discount

The value of an entity is often closely tied to the talent and leadership of its executives or key staff. Our role is to objectify this value by quantifying the real impact of these individuals on the overall valuation.

By translating intangible know-how into financial data, we help secure your transactions during business transfers. This approach allows risks to be weighed effectively, fully integrating the human dimension into your valuation audits and capital management strategies.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers.

How can I estimate the value of my company for a sale or the entry of investors?

Financial valuation is not an exact science but a combination of methods. Auriom uses complementary approaches:

  • The asset-based approach (net asset value).
  • The multiples approach (based on EBITDA or EBE).
  • The DCF method (discounting of future cash flows).

We thus prepare a robust valuation file that will serve as a solid basis for your negotiations.
