What is Company Valuation?
Company valuation is the process of determining the overall economic value of a business entity. It is a fundamental part of corporate finance and plays a key role in a wide range of strategic and financial decisions.
Unlike equity valuation, which focuses solely on the value of shareholders’ equity, company valuation assesses the total value of a company, including its equity, debt, and other components of its capital structure. This holistic view ensures that stakeholders have a complete understanding of the business’s worth, especially in transactions where the entire enterprise is being considered.
Several factors influence company valuation, including financial performance, assets and liabilities, future earnings potential, market position, customer base, intellectual property, and industry-specific trends. Our valuation specialists analyze these components to develop a clear and defensible valuation tailored to the business’s unique context.
Why is Company Valuation Important in Singapore?
In Singapore’s dynamic economy, company valuation is more than just a number—it’s a strategic tool that supports high-stakes decisions across a variety of scenarios.
For Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
Whether you’re looking to sell your business or acquire another, understanding the fair market value of the company involved ensures that negotiations are grounded in financial reality. It helps buyers avoid overpaying and sellers avoid undervaluing their company.
For Financial Reporting Compliance
Singapore’s regulatory framework, especially the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS), often requires companies to conduct fair value measurements and asset impairment tests. Valuation is essential for complying with standards such as FRS 36 (Impairment of Assets) and FRS 113 (Fair Value Measurement), ensuring your financial statements reflect true business value.
For Fundraising and Capital Raising
Investors and venture capitalists rely heavily on company valuations when deciding where to allocate funds. A professionally conducted valuation demonstrates transparency, builds investor confidence, and sets the groundwork for successful capital acquisition.
For Tax Planning and Compliance
Tax authorities may require valuations in cases involving asset transfers, restructuring, or succession planning. A robust valuation helps minimize disputes and supports tax efficiency.
In Legal and Shareholder Disputes
Disputes among shareholders or partners often necessitate a neutral, third-party valuation. Our independent valuation services can be used in court proceedings or settlements to support fair outcomes.
During Business Restructuring and Exit Strategy Planning
Whether you’re restructuring your business or preparing for an exit, knowing the value of your enterprise is essential. It enables effective planning and can maximize your return.
For Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)
Companies issuing shares to employees require regular valuations to determine fair share pricing, especially for unlisted firms. We provide compliant, employee-facing valuation reports for such schemes.

Company Valuation Methodologies We Use
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to company valuation. We use globally recognized methodologies and select the most appropriate approach based on your industry, business model, and the purpose of the valuation.
Asset Approach
The asset approach is based on the net asset value (NAV) of the company. It considers the value of a business’s tangible and intangible assets minus its liabilities. This approach is often used when a company’s value is derived primarily from its asset holdings.
There are different ways to calculate asset value, such as using book value from the balance sheet, estimating liquidation value if assets were sold quickly, or determining replacement cost for reproducing the asset base. This method is especially suitable for asset-heavy industries such as manufacturing, construction, or real estate.
Income Approach
The income approach estimates value based on the business’s ability to generate future earnings. One common method is Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis, which involves projecting the company’s future free cash flows and discounting them back to present value using an appropriate discount rate, typically the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).
Another method is the capitalization of earnings, which applies a capitalization rate to the company’s expected earnings, often used for stable, mature businesses.
This approach is ideal for companies with strong earnings visibility and growth potential, such as service-based companies, SaaS businesses, or financial firms.
Market Approach
The market approach determines value by comparing the company to similar businesses. It uses valuation multiples such as price-to-earnings (P/E) or EV/EBITDA, derived from publicly traded companies or past private transactions in the same industry.
This approach is particularly useful for companies in competitive markets with available benchmarking data. It reflects real-world investor behavior and can serve as a useful reference point in conjunction with other valuation methods.
Each method has its merits and limitations. In many cases, we blend methodologies and assign weightings to arrive at a fair and well-rounded conclusion of value.
Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) Considerations
In Singapore, financial reporting is governed by the SFRS framework, which aligns closely with IFRS. Accurate valuation plays a key role in several accounting scenarios, especially for:
- FRS 36 – Impairment of Assets: Regular impairment testing ensures that asset values on the balance sheet are not overstated.
- FRS 113 – Fair Value Measurement: This standard sets the framework for measuring and disclosing fair value in financial statements.
- SFRS 103 – Business Combinations: For mergers or acquisitions, proper valuation is needed to allocate the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets and goodwill.
Our team is well-versed in the technical requirements of these standards and delivers valuations that meet audit and compliance expectations.
Industry-Specific Company Valuation in Singapore
Every industry has distinct drivers of value, and our team takes these nuances into account when performing valuations.
In the technology sector, valuations may rely heavily on intellectual property, user base growth, and scalability. For real estate, tangible assets and income-producing properties are central to the analysis. The financial services industry requires careful consideration of regulatory capital, client relationships, and investment holdings. In logistics, contract value, fleet efficiency, and operational margins are key value indicators.
Our experience across diverse sectors allows us to tailor valuation methodologies to reflect your industry’s realities and investor expectations.
Who Can Benefit From Our Company Valuation Services?
Business valuation has broad relevance across professions and business roles:
- Business Owners benefit by understanding their company’s market position and potential sale value, enabling better planning and investment strategies.

- Accountants and Finance Professionals rely on valuation for accurate financial reporting, tax compliance, and internal audits.
- Legal Advisors and Corporate Lawyers utilize valuations in shareholder disputes, divorces, estate settlements, and transaction support.
We deliver actionable insights that cater to each stakeholder’s specific needs.
Cost of Company Valuation in Singapore
The cost of company valuation in Singapore varies based on several factors, including company size, industry complexity, purpose of valuation, and depth of analysis required.
Simple valuations may start from a few thousand SGD, while highly detailed, multi-entity or multi-subsidiary valuations involving forecasting, market analysis, and regulatory reporting could command higher fees. We offer transparent pricing, with no hidden costs, and scope every engagement clearly to meet your expectations.
How to Value a Company in Singapore: Our Process
At ValueTeam, our company valuation process in Singapore is designed to be collaborative, transparent, and tailored to your specific objectives. Whether you’re a startup founder preparing for a capital raise, a business owner exploring exit options, or a CFO ensuring compliance with financial reporting standards, our approach adapts to your unique needs.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how we conduct a professional business valuation:
Initial Consultation and Scoping
We start by having a discovery call or meeting with you to understand the purpose of the valuation and the nature of your business. Is the valuation for an M&A deal, fundraising, litigation, audit, ESOP, or tax purposes? Each use case has different technical and regulatory requirements, and the scope of work is shaped accordingly.
We’ll also ask preliminary questions such as:
- What is the structure of your business (Pte Ltd, group holding, etc.)?
- Are you operating in regulated industries?
- Do you have any subsidiaries, intangible assets, or recent restructuring?
This helps us define the valuation approach, timeline, required data, and fee structure.
Data Collection and Due Diligence
Once engagement is confirmed, we request a set of documents that provide a full picture of the company’s financial, operational, and strategic position. These typically include:
- Audited financial statements (last 3–5 years)
- Management accounts (YTD)
- Business plans or forecasts
- Organizational chart
- List of key assets and liabilities
- Contracts, licenses, or patents
- Details of any recent transactions or restructurings
We may also conduct interviews with management to gain deeper insights into operations, revenue drivers, industry trends, or any factors that aren’t immediately apparent in the numbers. This phase ensures that we’re working with accurate and context-rich information.
Selection of Valuation Methodology
With a clear understanding of your business, we determine which valuation approach—or combination of approaches—is most suitable:
- Income Approach (DCF or Capitalization of Earnings) is used when future profitability is predictable and the business has a strong revenue model.
- Market Approach is applied when we can benchmark your company against similar businesses, using real market data or recent comparable transactions.
- Asset-Based Approach is ideal for companies with substantial tangible or intangible assets, or in cases of liquidation or restructuring.
The choice of method depends on industry, growth potential, stage of business, available data, and your valuation objective.
Financial Analysis and Forecasting
Next, we dive deep into your financials. We analyze historical performance, normalize earnings (to remove one-off items or personal expenses), and build forward-looking financial models.
In the case of DCF valuation, we forecast:
- Revenue growth
- Gross and operating margins
- Capital expenditure
- Working capital needs
- Free cash flows
We also assess the appropriate discount rate using models such as the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), taking into account the company’s risk profile, cost of equity, cost of debt, and capital structure.
For market-based valuations, we compile relevant multiples (like EV/EBITDA, P/E) from comparable companies or deal databases and adjust them based on size, market conditions, and company-specific factors.
Risk Assessment and Scenario Planning
To account for uncertainty, we incorporate sensitivity analysis and may model multiple scenarios (e.g., conservative, base case, and optimistic) depending on your industry’s volatility.
This gives a realistic range of potential valuations, which is especially useful for early-stage businesses or businesses undergoing rapid change.
Draft Valuation Report and Review
Once the financial modeling and analysis are complete, we prepare a draft valuation report. This document clearly outlines:
- The selected valuation methodology
- Key assumptions and rationale
- Financial summaries and projections
- Risk factors
- Final valuation range or point estimate
We walk you through the report during a review session, answer any questions you have, and make any necessary refinements before finalizing it.
Delivery of Final Report
Your final valuation report is delivered in a professional, audit-ready format that can be shared with stakeholders, investors, auditors, regulators, or legal advisors. Depending on your needs, the report can be simplified or supplemented with technical appendices, fairness opinions, or board-level summaries.
Our reports are:
- Clear and well-structured
- Compliant with local accounting standards (e.g., SFRS, IRAS guidelines)
- Supported by evidence and transparent assumptions
Post-Valuation Support
