Company and intellectual property valuations typically rely on multiple datasets. Current valuations of companies with established revenue and earnings provide a more reliable basis for a valuation. Startups with contracts or patents can also be valued with some reliability. Current valuation reports are only developed for existing companies. Valuation reports for startups carry little weight; a company’s current valuation is best determined by a willing buyer and a willing seller. Projected valuations are highly dependent on revenue and earnings forecasts. While it is important to estimate the future valuation, this is generally not committed to a formal report as current valuations.
