AO ConsultoríaEspañol
Investment · Sale · Credit

Are you raising investment, selling or applying for credit? Make your numbers hold up to review.

An investor, buyer or bank doesn't just look at your revenue: they review real profit, cash flow and tax and labor contingencies. If your balance sheet has unsupported items, they'll use it to negotiate the price or walk away.

  • Accounting clean-up from 12 to 24 months and financial statements with notes
  • 3-year financial projection and discounted cash flow valuation
  • Data room with what a review asks for: contracts, IMSS, SAT, minutes and contingencies

Valuation simulator

Your company

Approximate annual amounts. Nothing is saved or sent.

Why the price drops

Your company is worth what you can prove

1

Unsupported balance sheet

Undocumented receivables, payables and advances make an investor suspect hidden problems, and it shows in the price.

2

Labor and IMSS contingencies

Contractors on fee agreements who in practice are employees are a labor and tax contingency the buyer will discount or cover with a holdback.

3

No credible projection

“We're going to triple in size” isn't enough. Banks and funds ask for a financial model with clear assumptions and a valuation that can be defended.

What's included

We get your company ready for review by a fund, bank or buyer

1

Accounting clean-up

We clean up receivables, payables, advances, bank accounts and inventory so the balance sheet ties out and can be explained.

2

Financial statements with notes

Balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, financial ratios and notes, with the level of detail an auditor expects.

3

Projection and valuation

Projection of sales, costs, investments and working capital, with discounted cash flow valuation and sensitivity analysis.

4

Data room

Folder with contracts, IMSS, SAT, minutes, shareholder structure and contingencies, ready to share with a link.

How it's calculated

How it's built the price

How the price is built

Enterprise valueEBITDA × multiple
Information discountA lower multiple if the numbers don't hold up
Value to shareholdersLess net debt and contingencies

Illustrative simulation with simplified assumptions. Multiples depend on industry, size, growth and market timing; the information-quality discount is an assumption to show the effect, not a rule.

Frequently asked questions

What clients usually ask us

How long does it take to get the company ready?

It depends on how many months need cleaning up and how orderly the books are today. In the assessment we give you a concrete timeline.

What is a discounted cash flow valuation?

It's a method that estimates a company's value from the cash it's expected to generate in the future, brought to today's value. It's the method funds and buyers usually use, so it pays to arrive with your own, well-supported one.

How much could my valuation change if I put my books in order?

It depends on each company. What we do see is that a balance sheet that explains itself and a projection with clear assumptions reduce the discounts and holdbacks the buyer asks for.

I'm not raising investment soon. Is this useful to me?

If your horizon is more than 12 months, we recommend starting with orderly monthly accounting. When the time comes, preparation will be faster.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the scope and the information you already have. After the assessment we send a written proposal with a fixed fee and no hidden charges.
