Company valuation

The valuation of a company is a common-sense exercise that requires some technical knowledge and improves with experience. Both, common sense and technical knowledge, are acquired by the experts at Freeman over time, thanks to years of experience and the number of cases they live year after year to learn the best business valuation practices.

To achieve a right valuation of your company or a company you are about to acquire, it is important to keep in mind the following: For whom is the valuation being performed? To what purpose is this valuation being done? Almost all valuation errors are due to a bad answer to this questions, because of lack of knowledge, experience or common sense.

In Freeman, we teach you our valuation models and techniques for your company or the company that you want or need to acquire, so that you can reach the best decisions during the process.

Corporate finance

Corporate finance is an area of finance that focuses in the ways in which companies may create and maintain value through an efficient use of financial resources.

The purpose of finance is to maximize value for the shareholders or owners. Finance is firmly related with other two disciplines: economy and accounting.

Corporate finance is centered in four types of decisions:

Investment decisions. Centered in the analysis of real assets (tangible or intangible) in which the company shall invest.

Financing decisions. It analyses ways to obtain funds (coming from investors that acquire financial assets issued by the company) so that the company may acquire the assets on which it has decided to invest. Decisions about dividends. Critical aspects of the entity shall be balanced. On one hand, it implies a consideration to stock capital and on the other, it means depriving the company from financial resources. Management decisions. Those that concern day to day operating and financial decisions.

Reorganization

Those are the procedures that a company performs to reassign activities and responsibilities, suppress non-productive tasks and introduce changes in systems or processes. Reorganization consists in the enhancement of the current design and generally supposes the execution of partial changes performed in an incremental manner.

Restructuring is oriented to modify current hierarchic relationships, organizational levels, authority delegation and communications systems within the company.

Restructuring

It is a research process on the perspectives of the organization, based on the constant comparison between the organizational structure and the established objectives. It implies an analysis on the extent to which the current structure contributes to achieve the objectives, to introduce necessary changes into all organizational levels when the results are not as expected.

Restructuring is oriented to modify current hierarchic relationships, organizational levels, authority delegation and communications systems within the company.

Starting from maximizing value or wealth for the stockholders or owners, which is the basic purpose of corporate finance, one of the fundamental questions is to measure the contribution of a certain decision to the value for the stockholder.

To answer this question, in Freeman we have created techniques for the valuation or evaluation of assets, that we offer you in our personalized consulting services.

Risk management

Financial risk management is a specialized branch of corporate finance dedicated to handle or hedge financial risks. "Uncertainty exists when there is no sure knowledge about what will happen in the future. Risk is uncertainty that "matters" because it affects people's welfare... Every risky situation is uncertain, but there can be uncertainty without risk." (Bodie, 1998).

Because of this, financial experts at Freeman are in charge of consulting and management of risk exposure of corporates and companies using derivate financial instruments.

Logistics and supply chain management

Companies that invest in logistics and management of the supply chain to identify such activities may work to reduce and eliminate activities that do not add value during this business process, turning into what is known as a lean business. Such companies may deliver products and services to the market more quickly, less costly and with better quality, acquiring a convincing advantage over their less efficient competitors.

Making these decisions, selecting the most profitable, effective, efficient and productive model, requires experience, precise knowledge and a profound business logic ability. In Freeman, we advise and support you to reach the best decisions for the management of the supply chain of your company.

Business strategy

For your company to be successful, its managers and leaders shall direct their people so that: Do the right things Do things right. The second, doing things right, is related to the field of effectiveness and other managerial abilities. The first, doing the right things, is managerial strategy (or corporate strategy or business strategy).

Change and continuous improvement management

The concept of change management has not been fully understood even though the term is being used more and more frequently in corporate environments. If we apply the meaning of each word, the concept is dissipated into a too wide horizon, which means that it is necessary to precisely clarify what we mean by change management.

Change management is closely linked with continuous improvement, it is a cause-effect chain which results in an improvement or evolution of processes and results within an organization. However, the continuous improvement process faces great obstacles, being resistance to change the most important.

IT implementation

Corporations are constantly faced with the challenge of global competition; there is a growing acknowledgement that technology and the digital world play a main role in determining their success. Thus, the adoption of new technologies has been accelerated, as well as the launching of technologically sophisticated products. Therefore, those who are aware of the need to develop technological and digital strategies shall consider that those shall be consistent with and integrated to their general business strategies.

Some have called these times "the digital era", others, more recently, "the era of digital transformation", and at a worldwide level, these times are known as "the Fourth Industrial Revolution", where the main character is the correct migration and evolution of companies in the subjects of technology and the Internet. In Freeman, we tell you what to do, how to do it, where, with whom, how much to invest, and what results to expect.

Project evaluation

Business project evaluation consists of an adequate financial, economic and social valuation of the project. For it to be correct, we need to make sure of its technical feasibility: that the bridge will not fall apart, that the engine will not burn out, or that it is possible to change the course of the river in Autumn. Likewise, economic evaluation assumes an adequate administrative formulation and evaluation, as well as an adequate institutional and legal formulation and evaluation: that land expropriation may be possible, that the invention may be patented, or that environmental regulations are not violated.

Project evaluation includes a financial and an economic valuation. The first one considers all the project’s financial flows in its analysis, making the distinction between own and loaned capital. This evaluation is pertinent to determine what is known as the financial capacity of the project and the profitability of own capital invested in the project. Economic evaluation, on the other hand, assumes that all purchases and sales' payments are strict cash and that all capital is own; in other words, the private economic evaluation disregards financial issues.

In Freeman, we have a group of project valuation specialists that will ensure that your project minimizes all risks and an efficient decision making is reached.
