An enterprise value (EV) is a good measure of valuation of any firm.

The EV comprises of market capitalization of the firm, net debt and minority interest in the firm.

The accurate calculation of the EV of the firm is important to arrive at the right valuation or acquisition price for the firm.

For a private company valuation, EV is crucial as calculation of market capitalization is a challenge as the company is not listed on the stock exchange.

Hence, one needs a specialist to value the private company with scientific calculation of the enterprise value.

ValueAdd has valued over 2,000 on EV-basis, with its expertise in valuing private companies.
