About SMERGERS

At SMERGERS, we define business valuation as a technique used to capture the true value of the business. Common approaches to business valuation include Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), trading comparables, and transaction comparables method. A company is held by two categories of owners, shareholders and debt holders. The value of a pure business that accrues to both categories of owners is called the enterprise value, whereas the value which accrues just to shareholders is the equity value (also called market cap for listed companies). Companies are compared using the enterprise value instead of equity value as debt and cash levels may vary significantly even between companies in the same industry. During an acquisition, depending on whether it is an asset purchase or a stock purchase, the valuation of appropriate elements of the business needs to be carried out. Investment bankers widely use this method to value a company during an acquisition.

    "Must have tool for small business owners!"

    Posted 2022-12-08

    Pros: SMERGERS is a great resource for business owners who are looking for a way to buy or sell a business. The website provides an easy to use platform where buyers and sellers can connect, and the process of finding the right deal is made simple. I recently signed up and I'm absolutely blown away! The platform is incredibly intuitive and user friendly, making it easy to navigate and find the resources you need. The website also provides valuable insights and resources, so that you can make an informed decision.
    I recently used their online valuation tool and later subscribed to the valuation model service and I'm so glad I did! They provided me with a detailed report that gave me a clear understanding of my restaurant's true worth. The valuation process was smooth and easy to understand, with all of the information clearly laid out. The team was also incredibly responsive and answered all my questions quickly.

    Cons: While they have a free tier, the cost of some of their services can be expensive, making it difficult for all small businesses to access the resources they need in order to complete a successful merger or acquisition.

    Overall: SMERGERS has been an invaluable resource for me and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to find partners or buyers for their business. Overall I would highly recommend SMERGERS. Their expertise and customer service are top-notch!
