A business valuation is a clear and reasoned estimation of a company’s economic value as of a specific date. It explains not only how much the company is worth, but also what drives that value and how it can be increased.
At Sunbelt Central America, we perform a comprehensive valuation that combines quantitative and qualitative analysis, utilizing methodologies such as discounted cash flow, market multiples, and preceding transactions. The result: a justified value range and a deep understanding of the business’s value levers.
With this foundation, the making of strategic decisions in business buying or selling processes is facilitated, supporting both owners and investors in negotiating fair terms aligned with the business’s true potential.
