Spotlight: Bvint, Multidimensional Valuations and Stochastic Models
Business Valuation International, also known as BVint, offers comprehensive, independent business valuations and risk models to a global clientele, including private equities, family offices, investors, entrepreneurs, managers, and legal and accounting firms. Leveraging advanced tools, BVint precisely identifies and measures both external and internal risk-value drivers. The firm's niche focus allows it to objectively analyze a business from every possible angle—industry, markets, strategy, technology, operations, and macroeconomic environments.
Founded in response to the 2012 financial crisis, BVint filled the gap in the market for accurate risk assessments in valuation practices. Traditional valuation models were often static, offering limited reflection of reality, and falling short in capturing the business's volatile flow and inherent risks. Recognizing the growing industry consensus on the need for robust risk measurement for private equity, BVint developed sophisticated valuation models that accurately quantify risks in illiquid asset class investments.
BVint holds the distinction of being the first company in Europe to provide Advanced Multidimensional Valuations using Stochastic Models. Headquartered in London, with offices in Geneva, Amsterdam, and Malta, BVint was established by a team of valuation experts with backgrounds in private equity, investment banking, and top-tier consultancy firms, each boasting over 20 years of professional experience. Today, BVint's client and partner base spans over 30 countries, their regional presence and international experience offering them a comprehensive perspective of the local industry.
BVint's approach transcends traditional valuations, offering a risk assessment that aligns with the private equity industry's highest standards. Their advanced valuations utilize stochastic risk assessments based on several key factors—macroeconomy, market, strategy, technology, and operational and financial drivers. Their unique DCF at risk methodology illustrates the business's flow, detailing the impact of each driver and the final value at risk: rNPV, & VaR based on NAV volatility.
At the core of BVint's valuation process is a focus on market and strategic risks and value drivers, often overlooked in traditional valuation models that focus primarily on legal, compliance, and financial reporting functions. Their advanced risk and valuation models aim to improve investment decisions by determining the risk profile of any investment, start-up project, intangible asset, or privately held company. This is achieved through a detailed analysis of the return or value distribution of an investment affected by internal company variables or external market variables. The outcome is a strategy to mitigate risk and optimize the risk-return trade-off through portfolio management and alternative investments.
Advanced valuations, as offered by BVint, are vital for businesses, especially entrepreneurial ventures, looking to leverage their business plans effectively. An advanced independent valuation provides businesses with the tools to present a value creation plan based on a realistic risk analysis to institutional investors. BVint's advanced valuations are key to proving the potential of a business to potential acquirers and investors, highlighting opportunities, and eliminating bias in presentations.
