Why is it so important to be able to value a company?
The value of a company is the basis for many key decisions – from transactions, company sales, company purchases or succession planning to tax issues or strategic corporate planning. A professional company valuation provides clarity, security, and transparency – for owners, investors, and successors alike.
Company value: Valuing your company correctly
Company valuation serves to determine the value of a company using key figures such as earnings power, cash flow, EBIT, EBITDA and net asset value.
It takes into account the financial substance, future profits and market value of your company.
For Swiss SMEs, GmbHs, AGs and family businesses, a realistic valuation shows what your company is actually worth, taking into account factors such as hidden reserves, deferred taxes and future profitability.
Typical methods of company valuation are:
Income approach (classic income approach or practitioner approach)
Net asset value method (determines the sum of assets minus liabilities)
Discounted cash flow method (DCF method)

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about company valuation
That depends on the type of company. For SMEs, the practitioner method is often used, which is a combination of net asset value and income value. The DCF method (discounted cash flow method) is suitable for determining the value of a company with stable, predictable cash flows.
The net asset value corresponds to the equity according to the official balance sheet, plus hidden reserves and minus debts. The capitalized earnings value, on the other hand, is based on future profits and shows the sustainable earning power of the company.
They increase the actual asset value. They arise when assets are undervalued in the balance sheet or provisions are too high.
They are taken into account for adjustment purposes in the calculation of the capitalized earnings value.
The capitalization rate (or cost of capital) expresses the return expectations of investors. It is used in the income approach or DCF method to discount future cash flows to their present value.
The determination of the enterprise value depends on which valuation method is chosen. Depending on the method—such as the net asset value method, income approach or discounted cash flow method—either net asset value and income, cash flows or market value are taken into account. The cost of capital or capitalization rate is used to calculate future profits.
