Every strategic decision a founder or business owner makes eventually comes back to one question: what is this company actually worth? Whether you are raising a funding round, bringing in a co-founder, negotiating a partnership, or preparing for a sale, the number you put forward shapes every conversation that follows. Get it wrong and you either leave value on the table or lose credibility with the people you need to convince.
Company valuation is not a single formula. The right approach depends on your stage, your industry, your growth trajectory, and the purpose of the valuation itself. A pre-revenue startup pitching angel investors needs a fundamentally different method than an established SME preparing for a trade sale. At Konsultori, we bring the judgment to know which method fits your situation, and the rigor to make the resulting number stand up to scrutiny from investors, partners, and acquirers alike.
The Scorecard Method is a valuation method based on a weighted average value adjusted for a similar company.
How does it work
The scorecard method compares the target company to typical angel-funded startup ventures and adjusts the average valuation of recently funded companies in the region to establish a pre-money valuation of the target.
Such comparisons can only be made for companies at the same stage of development, in this case, for pre-revenue startup ventures.
The valuation goes up or down depending on your assessment of how your startup is doing in the 7 risk areas and the relative weighting you give the risks.
Work on your risks and how to cover them to improve your valuation. Challenge this with the Venture Capital Valuation method, the Transaction Multiples Method, and the Risk Factor Summation.
When to use it
Use this method if your company is pre-revenue and early stage and you are looking for growth financing.
How Konsultori Builds a Structured Company Valuation
Our company valuation work is never a one-off calculation. It is the output of a structured process: understanding your business model, stress-testing your financial planning, selecting and applying the right methods for your stage, and building an argumentation that holds up in negotiation. This is what separates a defensible valuation from a number pulled out of a spreadsheet.
Whether you need a first indicative valuation to start a conversation, or a fully benchmarked report to support a funding round, partnership, or exit, we tailor the depth and format of our company valuation work to what the moment actually requires.
