Black Lake Capital’s Post

Understanding a private company’s value is crucial for dealmakers, but the process can be challenging because of limited data. Recently, we covered how investors can use public comps and VC & growth equity comps. Now we’re focusing on how past M&A deals — specifically, acquisitions — can help dealmakers evaluate their private-market targets. Check out Grata COO Nevin Raj's latest blog post on how to value a private company here: https://hubs.la/Q02TqZqQ0 #privateequity #privatemarkets #comps #valuations

Building and growing a business is no small task. With this in mind, founders may begin to explore options for an exit strategy or seek investment capital to fuel further growth. Before doing so, it's important to plan ahead and take the necessary steps to ensure that you and your business are prepared.

Why don't we chase every deal on the market? Acquisitions demand restraint. Every deal looks promising, yet we focus on those that truly align with our long-term goals. Six deals a year may sound conservative, but each one is a calculated move built to last.

Not all valuation reviews are the same. Do you know what yours actually covers. Some reviews check the process, others check the value. If that's not defined, you could end up with a review that doesn't serve your needs. The latest IVS update now requires valuers to clearly state what the review includes and who can rely on it. That means fewer misunderstandings, better transparency. No surprises when your valuation is used in a deal, a tax filing, or a legal case. Before relying on a valuation review, make sure it aligns with what you need. Read through the carousel to know more.
