Business Valuation Services

NIT Management Consultants provides comprehensive business valuation services for the mergers, acquisitions, and investments.

Our business valuation practice leverages the firm’s strategy, market research, and financial analysis capabilities to maximize profit from the sale or acquisition businesses.

Through our unique approach to business valuation, we first assess the reason for and the circumstances surrounding the business valuation also known as premise of value.

We consider the national, regional and local economic conditions existing as of the business valuation date, as well as the trends and conditions occurring within the industry in which the company operates.

Lastly, there is an analysis of financial statements focusing on all financial trends such as growth or decline in revenues or expenses, liquidity, turnover rate and overall profitability of the company. This process estimates the economic value of a business and determines the price or multiple that a company is willing to pay to acquire the business.

NIT Management Consultants uses a variety of valuation techniques to accurately measure the value of a business, including:

• Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
• Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return Analysis
• Free Cash Flow to Equity Valuation
• Free Cash Flow to Firm Valuation
• Leveraged Buyout Valuation
• Synergy Valuation
• Weighted Average Cost of Capital Valuation
• Cash Flow Valuation

Fairness Opinions

NIT Management Consultants provides business advisory services to ensure that companies are acting in fair manner and using sound business judgment.

In developing fairness opinion offerings, we determine whether a merger, acquisition, buyback, spin-off, or buyout is a fair and viable option for that company.

This process involves interviewing key management and key company advisors, visiting the company’s facilities, analyzing financial statements, reviewing transaction documents, and researching and understanding trends within the industry to properly evaluate the company.

Our fairness opinion service offering assists directors, investors, trustees and board members of a company in gaining clarity into the soundness of a deal. We make transparent the level of care and value a third party has provided to shareholders about the financial fairness of a pending transaction.

Our fairness opinion process includes the following components:

• Valuation analysis of a target company as well as alternative companies
• Evaluation of the business rationale to proceed with the proposed transaction
• Opinion as to the legal fairness of the proposed transaction

We present the fairness opinion as a professionally formatted research report that a board of directors or controlling shareholder of a target company can use to approve the proposed transaction.
