Why Accurate Business Valuation Matters in Today’s Market

Our Robust Valuation Methodologies
To ensure complete defensibility against auditing firms, tax authorities, and counterparties, Bestar Singapore applies internationally recognized valuation approaches aligned with the International Valuation Standards (IVS):
The Income Approach (Discounted Cash Flow - DCF): Forecasts future free cash flows discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate (WACC) to reflect the present value of future economic benefits.
The Market Approach (Guideline Public Companies & Transactions): Benchmarks your business against comparable publicly traded peers or historical sector transactions using valuation multiples (e.g., EV/EBITDA, P/E).
The Cost Approach (Net Asset Value - NAV): Evaluates the aggregate net fair value of individual tangible and intangible assets and liabilities—ideal for holding companies, asset-heavy firms, or businesses winding down.
