Business valuation & due diligence
Fair value
In the context of a merger, acquisition, or fundraising round, having a reliable valuation is essential.
CAE Experts supports you with a rigorous approach, built on recognized methods tailored to each situation.
Business valuation
A precise, well-documented valuation gives you a clear picture of strengths, weaknesses, and prospects.
By allowing you to negotiate from an objective, credible footing, it becomes a decisive asset in negotiations, reassuring investors and building confidence in the soundness of the project (profitability, growth prospects, etc.).
Our analyses combine financial and non-financial criteria to paint a complete picture of your company.
Our methodology:
Collection and analysis of financial data
Selection of the appropriate valuation methods
Qualitative and quantitative analysis

One role: to give you the clear vision to invest with complete confidence.
Who Is This For?
- Sale or transfer of ownership: knowing the market value before negotiating
- Acquisition: verifying the asking price and any hidden risks in a target company (due diligence)
- Fundraising: putting an objective figure on the valuation offered to investors
- Capital transactions: a partner joining or leaving, contributions in kind, mergers, restructuring
- Legal or family situations: asset division, inheritance, disputes between partners
How the Engagement Works
- Initial familiarization: the business, its market, and key dependencies (customers, management, suppliers)
- Financial analysis: restating the accounts from recent fiscal years to reveal the company's true economic performance
- Choice of methods: asset-based approach, income approach, discounted cash flow (DCF), and comparables, cross-checked and weighted according to context
- Valuation report: a well-argued value range, explicit assumptions, and sensitivity analysis
- Presentation of findings: walking you through the conclusions, with support during negotiations if you wish
Deliverables & Benefits
Benefits: negotiating on an objective basis, avoiding selling too low or buying too high, and legally securing the transaction with a report signed by a chartered accountant registered with the Order.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions
How much is my company worth?
There's no single formula: value depends on restated profitability, growth prospects, assets, how dependent the business is on its owner-manager, and the buyer market. It's by cross-checking several methods, weighted to your specific situation, that we arrive at a value range you can defend in negotiations.
What is the difference between a valuation and due diligence?
Valuation estimates a company's worth. Due diligence checks, before an acquisition, what's really behind the numbers: the reliability of the accounts, tax and employment risks, off-balance-sheet commitments, and disputes. The two complement each other: due diligence often ends up adjusting the price that came out of the valuation.
Is a valuation useful outside of a sale?
Yes: when an investor comes in, when a partner leaves, for a contribution in kind requiring a contributions auditor, for a group restructuring, a gift or inheritance, or a dispute. In all of these cases, an independent report keeps the valuation itself from becoming the point of conflict.
