Thinkubate Funding & Valuation Course
If you are trying to raise capital for your company, it is crucial to determine the company's worth. Build your business into a valuable asset so that you can exit at a higher value to an investor.
There are three main valuation methods:
- Comparable company analysis
- Precedent transactions analysis
- Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
As the business owner, you need to know enough about how to value and fund your business to enable it to grow and eventually exit at a higher value.
Course Description
Most entrepreneurs have an overrated valuation for their business. Many have not given their exit strategy much thought until they have to exit the business. Most companies will need some form of funding at some time to grow the business to the next level. Valuing and funding your business is critical for the business owner to master to eventually exit the company at some point.
You should figure out your exit strategy from inception so that you know where you are going and what you expect from the exit. This is known as your ROI (Return on Investment).
Quite simply, valuation is the process of quantifying the worth of a company. The value of your company is essential when seeking funding or an equity investor. All funding should be to grow the company. The funder, whether debt or equity funders, will seek some form of return on their investment. That can only be achieved if you can grow the business by using their funds. It all starts with the value of your business.
Business valuation is never simple. There are several methods to value the company, and most entrepreneurs are not well-versed with this highly critical process. For early-stage businesses with little or no revenue or profits, assigning a valuation is particularly tricky.
