Business valuation is the most complicated direction in valuations. It represents the process of drawing up a conclusion and determining the value that the evaluated project, company or part of it brings to its owner.
In its essence, value represents the most probable and anticipated amount that, in the appraiser's opinion, could be paid in a hypothetical transaction at a specific point in time. It is a measure of the economic benefit and advantages derived from owning the appraised object
Value is not a fact but an expert opinion that is influenced by multiple factors, including individual understanding of risk and opportunity, available alternatives for investing time and money, time horizon of analysis, and others
The qualitative preparation of a licensed business valuation requires substantial knowledge and experience not only in the financial and accounting field but also in the tax-legal and macroeconomic environment. It also examines the interconnections between the specific business's needs and potential and the trends within the particular industry, as well as how the business responds to those trends.
Determining the value of a business is an important economic indicator that is of interest to various stakeholders, including owners, financial institutions, potential investors, managers, financial analysts, competitors, and others. Additionally, regardless of the specific purpose for its preparation, an appraisal can provide valuable information about potential issues within the evaluated company, identify problems, and direct management's attention towards resolving them.
Knowing what an asset is worth and what determines that value is a necessary prerequisite for intelligently informed decisions.
Indeed, every entrepreneur has likely wondered at least once, "How much is my business worth?" For us, the truth is that the price of a business is as much as a potential investor is willing to pay for it. However, sometimes that price does not reflect its true value. Undeniably, analyzing historical financial data, realized financial indicators, and asset values are of paramount importance in determining the value of a business. These factors provide valuable insights into the financial performance and worth of the business.
However, it is essential to consider and take into account difficult-to-measure factors of great importance that contribute to value, such as:
Even if you think you know your business in detail, an expert valuation adds clarity and certainty about parameters that you may not have known at all.
Knowing the value of each component of your business, and not only that, is invaluable information that every entrepreneur and owner should have.
The answer depends on what is the purpose of the valuation, what provokes its preparation, for whom and for what it is needed.
The valuation by a licensed independent appraiser is prepared for a specific purpose and at a specific time, and the valuation report is prepared in compliance with the applicable Valuation Standards, which regulate the requirements for its structure and the methods used. The choice of methods is influenced by the purpose of the evaluation, therefore using the evaluation report for purposes other than those of the initial assignment requires revision and/or redrafting.

Determining the value of receivables is of utmost importance for the financial health of any company. This shows how successfully the terms of the payment commitments are met and how effective the receivables management is. The valuation of receivables is used as a tool to measure the liquidity of the company and to make financial decisions, as it allows the owner of the asset to organize a more effective strategy - to hold, sell or write off the particular receivable due to unprofitability, without making costs for its implementation.
Receivables are also identified as a capital instrument, which predisposes to their assessment that assignment by the Registration Agency in order to increase the capital through a non-monetary contribution (contribution-in-kind).
