Aureus Advisory offers valuation services for numerous industries and assets. Using a combination of metrics from macroeconomic indicators to comp sets to financial data, we seek to build models that will help reflect the core value of the asset.
The valuation process is more than just understanding financial statements. We look at the core drivers of revenue and costs to generate accuracy over the course of time. With any model, the results you get are only as good as the inputs. Using multiple data sources to help understand the past trends of financials, we can leverage that understanding of the fundamentals to better predict future performance for mature or growing businesses.
Startups and young companies are not as easily modeled using traditional methods. Without a series of past data points along with companies that are often not expected to turn profits in the near future, other methods must be sought to identify the value of these companies. In this instance, curiosity and creativity are valuable resources to estimating the value of a startup. In these cases, the market and the potential are key value drivers. We use a combination of data and research tools to gauge appetite for potential startup businesses.
