Companies and business valuation is the process of determining the transaction value (or trading range) of a particular business entity or economic unit. It differs from real estate appraisals and methods that are used to determine property values. Business valuation is a more extensive process. However, it can integrate the results of real estate appraisals into the total value of the company.

The valuation can be geared to evaluate the company as a whole or just as a business unit. The relative position of the company will also interfere with the determination of its value. Most valuation techniques use a common element: the time value of money. Assessment techniques selection must be based on the objectives and strategies of buyers and sellers. Whether for the seller or the potential buyer of a business, the value can be determined by any of the valuation methods presented. The essential difference stems from the expectations each has on the future of the business and the alternative possibilities of obtaining or applying the funds involved in the value of the transaction.In order to valuate on a risk-taking criteria basis, calculated and published statistical information for the different sectors of activity and industries is used. Learn about the main methods of business valuation, or get in touch with our business services

Nowadays business models must be global. This is what led us to be present in another FAE (Forum dos Administradores e Gestores de Empresas) initiative which has discussed the issue of competitiveness and innovation in companies.

Business innovation is in the process, in technology in design.

But above all it is in Equity: it is Equity that will push for innovation in all phases of the value chain of companies.

Equity pulls by the demand and this by the know-how. That is why companies must diversify sources of finance, attract International Equity, they are natural tools that will increase their competitiveness, which will lead to attract skilled jobs, and attract the best talent.

Fingeste supports companies in this movement, have the best equity to be better.

We attract entrepreneurs, investors, and ensure national and international financing for companies.

When there is no smart money in Portugal there is in the world and we will identify where it is.

We work on a global scale.
