Business valuation in Ireland typically uses a combination of methods depending on the sector and size of the business. Common approaches include EBITDA multiples (applying an industry-standard multiple to earnings), asset-based valuation, and discounted cash flow analysis. A corporate advisor will assess your financials, growth potential, customer concentration, and market position to arrive at a supportable value range. Understanding your valuation before going to market allows you to set realistic expectations, identify value-enhancing actions, and negotiate from a position of knowledge. Attempting to sell without an independent valuation often leads to undervaluing the business.
