A valuation carries weight only if it holds up under scrutiny — from a buyer, a lender, an investor, or a tax authority.
Projectzo values businesses, projects, and equity stakes for transactions, fundraising, dispute resolution, and regulatory filings. The methodology applied — discounted cash flow, comparable company analysis, asset-based, or a combination — is chosen for the business and the purpose of the valuation, not defaulted to a single approach regardless of fit.
One senior advisor is accountable for the mandate from method selection through the final report, working through financial analysis, market comparables, and the specific factors that affect this business's value. The conclusion is documented in enough detail to withstand review by the party it was prepared for.
Discounted cash flow, comparable company analysis, and asset-based methods are each applied where they fit — the choice depends on the business, its stage, and the purpose the valuation serves.
Common triggers include a sale or acquisition, a fundraising round, a shareholder dispute, a regulatory filing, or succession planning — any point where a defensible figure is required, not an informal estimate.
Buyers, lenders, investors, boards, and regulators are the typical audiences. The report is written to hold up under whichever of these reviews it, with assumptions documented rather than asserted.
Most valuations run two to five weeks depending on the availability of financial records and the complexity of the business, with delivery held to the schedule agreed at the outset.
