General

Valutico allows you to perform comprehensive business valuations within a fraction of the time usually required. What used to take days and was operationally inefficient can now be created and sent to clients and colleagues with a few clicks of your mouse.

It’s an old saying that “valuation is more art than science”. We here at Valutico agree and provide the technology and science to support your artistry. Our platform combines powerful algorithms and world-class financial databases to enhance the human experience in the valuation process. Valutico starts by asking you about key drivers of the business you are valuing, and helps you build a full valuation based on comps, transaction multiples, and a financial forecast.

Business valuations are used for a variety of reasons:

  • If you are an investor, you will appreciate the opportunity to value the companies you invest in based on your own unbiased assumptions.
  • As an advisor, Valutico allows you to offer state-of-the-art valuation analyses to your clients without the need for subscribing to various different financial databases and managing a myriad of different spreadsheet models.

Our users tend to come from a variety of backgrounds and are namely comprised of Accountants, Auditors, Business Consultants and Tax Advisory firms, as well as Investment Management, Corporate Finance and M&A practitioners.

Valutico is currently available in English, French, German and Italian. We anticipate adding further languages on an ongoing basis.

We do the “heavy lifting” on our servers, so a computer, browser and Internet connection are the only requirements.

In terms of browser software, please note that we recommend using Safari, Chrome or Firefox. The platform is currently not optimized for Internet Explorer.

Valutico has been designed from the outset purely as a web-based solution. That means you can use Valutico on any computer and even on-the-go with your tablet. It also means that we take the stress out of costly installations and the responsibility for regular updates away, allowing you to focus on what you’re best at whilst we support you.

Valutico has been designed from the ground up with ease-of-use and simplicity in mind. While Valutico’s ‘inner workings’ are fairly complex, its handling is kept deliberately simple, enabling us to provide valuation professionals with a platform of substantial analytical depth whilst ensuring user friendliness.

Handling

Data

Our systems aggregate financial information from a variety of public and non-public sources. The quality of our partners – some of the world’s leading financial databases – together with Valutico’s own diligent research efforts, guarantee that you get the best available information.

Depending on the type of data, Valutico’s update intervals vary between daily and weekly. Market data is typically updated daily, while financial forecasts and macroeconomic assumptions are updated on a weekly basis. EBITA Multiples, EBIT multiples, Revenue multiples, for both current and forward year are refreshed daily. Betas are calculated (levered or unlevered) on a rolling basis, and other data points from our company databases (such as analysts consensus estimates) or market sources (such as risk free rates, tax rates, etc.) are refreshed as frequently as our providers allow (often daily). Multiples by industry are calculated daily from the underlying datasets.
