VALUATION MODEL EXAMPLE EXCEL DESCRIPTION

This product (Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] - Business Valuation Model) is an Excel template (XLSX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation method is a fundamental financial valuation technique used to estimate the value of an investment, company, or asset by projecting its future cash flows and discounting them back to their present value. It is one of the most widely used valuation methods in corporate finance, investment analysis, and project evaluation.

This Financial Model, suitable for any type of investment and project, uses the DCF valuation method to estimate the present value of a business by projecting future cash flows and discounting them to their present value using a chosen discount rate (WACC). It includes detailed forecasts for revenue, operating expenses, taxes, working capital changes, and capital expenditures. The model calculates free cash flow, applies the discount rate, and determines the business's intrinsic value, helping investors assess whether it is undervalued or overvalued. This tool is indispensable for executives seeking a reliable and detailed valuation model.

The template structure follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.
