The OLZ Valuation Process
There are many different ways of valuing a company, although the focus is always on assessing and valuing future cash flow in order to obtain a well-founded basis for decision-making (discounted cash flow method).
The method we use at OLZ comprises a series of modules and has proven itself time and again over the past few years. We provide you with the necessary support for dealing with the following phases according to your needs.
OLZ takes into account the complete business model of a company, a strategy or a project. Special attention is paid to the various cycles such as life-cycles and investment cycles. At the same time we also examine the management's scope of activity and the company's strategic position. Cost of capital and liquidity discount are determined using an objective market reference. All these considerations generate a series of key elements regarding the value drivers, the planning period and the residual value that has to be taken into account.
Our valuation is based on an integral and flexible model that is tailored to your requirements. This will help you to understand the essential value drivers, to identify the corresponding sensitive points yourself, to imagine possible scenarios and to simulate possible solutions. In this way you will understand the relevant links and gain the confidence that is essential for negotiations or objective assessment.
The total result of our valuation will be contained in a written report. In many cases, a well-documented and realistic value range and a description of the sensitive points and scenarios on which it is based form the starting point for successful financing.
