Company valuation analysis: Tools and services useful for SME

This deliverable will first monitor company valuation between the info the company puts in the EIC Accelerator proposal, the final valuation obtained for the blending through the EIC fund and the fair value obtained for the company through different commercial methodologies. Ideally, this deliverable will be based on the signed operation with the EIC fund between Q3 and Q4 2020. In parallel, this task will challenge how companies fill in such tools from a face to face perspective with a professional investment broker (direct cost of 2,500 – 3,000€ per case). This will allow not only to check how valuation change when confronted with experts in investment but also to assess if this kind of service help companies to structure and justify better their business case. For this exercise, at least 10 companies aiming to apply for the EIC accelerator will be selected from at least 3 countries. In order to be able to extract learnings, a common frame of analysis will be defined with the professional investment brokers selected. In order to check the potential benefit of this “challenged” valuation, a follow-up mechanism will be set up for the companies being involved in the exercise.
