Valuation of CRM Startup
Valtech Valuation recently completed a business valuation for a start-up company engaging in CRM sector. The target company is a fast-growing tech company specializing in WhatsApp marketing automation, helping SMEs and enterprises streamline bulk messaging, automation, and inbox management. We take pride in being a trusted valuation firm, offering valuable insights to clients in this industry.
The valuation of the target company was conducted under market approach: the Guideline Publicly-Traded Comparable (GPTC) Method and the Guideline Transactions (GT) Method. There are sufficient numbers of comparable public companies and transactions available in markets which facilitate a meaningful comparison and provide inputs for determining the valuation multiple. We carefully reviewed the documents provided by the target company and determined that the market approach was the appropriate approach for this valuation.
We conducted an in-depth analysis including, but not limited to, the selection of comparable companies and the sources of the parameters adopted, ensuring that the valuation was conducted fairly and appropriately. After a rigorous process which leveraging our deep expertise, we believe the list of comparable companies to be exhaustive based on our research and selection criteria on a best-effort basis. Moreover, we made further adjustments to account for differences, such as marketability between the target company and the guideline companies.
Apart from the performance conducted through commonly adopted multiple such as P/Revenue multiple, we have conducted our valuation by adopting GT method. We analyzed hundreds of private deals in the CRM and AI sectors, benchmarking the target company’s funding round against observable transactions, leading to an implied valuation.
