Feb 8, 2019 – SMERGERS, the world’s fastest growing deal platform has launched a simple and effective business valuation tool directly accessible for SME businesses who register on their platform. Their technology uses data from thousands of comparable businesses listed on their website with their financial data to arrive at market valuation multiples. Generally, most large company valuations are based on similar companies from the same country. But this may not necessarily work for SMEs, as each city within the country has different valuation drivers.
Large companies at best can act as pseudo comparables to SMEs as the industry specificity, business model and risks associated with them are very different compared to large publicly traded companies. SMERGERS is able to effectively deal with this issue because of the large volume of financial data of smaller sized businesses they have access to from their investment banking platform.
A quick online search throws up a good number of positive reviews from its clients on various social media platforms. Some factors which reviewers seem to value include their systematic approach to deal-making, platform’s ease of use, quality of their members, and the timelines in which they deliver. Vishal Devanath stated “Vast majority of larger businesses go through an M&A or capital raising cycle in their lifetime. Investment banks are unable to service smaller businesses through their current business model. Extremely high fees coupled with very low success rate tarnishes the industry and discourages other businesses from realizing the true potential of M&A. We want to change that” when asked about how they differentiate from other players in the industry.
SMERGERS is probably the first platform which is built with closure of deal in mind. While other companies in this industry act merely as business for sale listing websites, SMERGERS has been rolling out features which emulate a virtual investment banking experience for SMEs. Registration process is smooth and completely online. Basic verification of the business is conducted by analysts and various parameters are used to rate the business offer making it easy for first-time investors and business buyers. The platform brings out features like intelligent matchmaking, automatic NDA drafting, confidential data room. On the services front, it has been assisting businesses in preparation of Confidential Information Memorandums, Discounted Cash Flow valuation models and, if required, Due Diligence and Legal work through its network of partner firms.
