How to evaluate a company? 

Usually, 3 valuation methods will be used together to establish a weighted average. This weighted average will then be used to obtain the final valuation of the company. 

The 3 most used valuation methods are the following:

- comparative 

- profitability 

- patrimonial 

But there are also other methods such as the DCF, for example. 

Why evaluate a company?

There are several reasons for needing a business assessment:

- an estimate of the assets

- an application for bank financing 

- the purchase or sale of the company 

- preparation of the manager's succession or divorce

The strength of a XVAL valuation is the delivery of a detailed and documented report within 3 days, justifying the methods and assumptions used (EBITDA restatement, coefficient...) which will be the basis for discussions with the buyer, the banker.
