“Can I get the company’s value within 2 weeks?”

We get this question a lot — and the answer is: yes and no.

As consultants, our first step is to send over a list of required documents and key questions. From there, we begin building the valuation model.

Typically, we need financial statements from the past 3–5 years (sometimes longer, especially if there were unusual years like during a pandemic). We need to understand every single line item in detail to make realistic assumptions for future projections.

This takes time — not just for us, but also for the client. On our end, we analyze the numbers and dig deep into the business. On the client’s side, someone (usually from the accounting team) needs to help us answer detailed questions.

We then work on the assumptions, using both industry outlooks and management’s projections. This often involves interviews with the management or strategy team to understand how they see the company’s future earnings.

The most time-consuming part? Back-and-forth communication. And if the company operates across multiple business lines or revenue streams, the process can take even longer.

So when customers ask, “Can you do it in 2 weeks?” — the real answer is:

It depends on the company and how ready the information is. 📩 Interested for more about business valuation?
