Private Company Valuation Forum | Addressing the valuation gap

This is the first episode in our new series, The Private Company Valuation Forum.

The aim of The Private Company Valuation Forum is to shed light on this important topic, offering better insight into how to value private businesses as the world opens up.

Host Richard Angus kicks off with thoughts about the disconnect between what returns investors expect versus what companies can realistically deliver in this environment.

Doug Lawson of MarktoMarket presents on quarterly private company deal data. He also discusses the concept of “flight to quality”, as investors show preference for larger, more stable companies.

Finally, Seb Cartwright of Saffery explains how valuations differ when accurate information is hard to come by. He discusses the role of due diligence in getting deal transactions “over the line” and the misconception business owners have about their ability to influence the final valuation multiple.
