Example of a Valuation Report
A free, fictional example showing how a professional valuation is typically structured — so you know what to expect when you commission one yourself.
Many business owners have never seen a real valuation report before they need one themselves — and it can be hard to assess whether the report you get from an advisor actually covers what it should. This document is a fictional example, built around the fictional company "Business A ApS", showing the structure of a professional valuation step by step.
What does the example contain?
- Introduction to the fictional company and the basis for the report
- A glossary of the key professional terms (EBITDA, DCF, WACC, Enterprise Value, and more)
- A review of the income statement and balance sheet with fictional figures
- Industry and peer group comparison
- A review of the most common valuation methods
- A full DCF analysis with assumptions and results
- Sensitivity analysis and multiple analysis as supporting methods
- An overall conclusion with a specific (fictional) value range
Who benefits from the example?
Both sellers and buyers who want to understand what should be included in a serious valuation before they commission — or receive — one themselves.
