Principles of valuation of an IT/ICT company

The valuation of an IT company is a very important question that every IT company owner might be interested in. There is the technical part as well as the art of a business valuation. There are a lot of factors that come into consideration during the valuation of an ICT company.

There are multiple valuation methods currently used in the M&A market. The DCF method (discounted cash-flow method) is sometimes used. More often, the way to value a company is to take industry multiples (mostly EBITDA) and use these on the company’s financials to come up with an estimated valuation. This is the most common method. Visit valuation methods page for your company for details about the main valuation methods.

The valuation depends significantly on subindustry. You will get different valuation multiple and result for a software company, IT security company, hardware distributor or SaaS company.
