Nowadays, the transmission of companies market is rapidly expanding. Given this development of the market, the company BestValue was created to be an intermediary between seller and buyers. This project thesis focuses on this phenomenon and particularly to the position of the purchaser of a company. In order to transfer a company, BestValue needs to follow different steps. Valorization is one of the most important steps and leads to the value of the target company. One of the challenges is to make the acquirer understand the meaning of this valorization process. Therefore, the thesis will help the purchaser to see where he can create value with the target company. Some interviews realized during the project will help to understand the motivation that leads a buyer to buy someone’s business instead of creating his own. Moreover, it helps to value the target company in the position of the acquirer. To do so, this thesis starts with some theoretical aspects : an overview of the different methods of valorization, the different types of acquirer and what is transmitted in a company transaction. After the theoretical part, this thesis addresses more practical aspects, with the presentation of cases. Indeed, it will describe where the value is created when someone buys a company, and how the acquirer can optimize his purchase. The first output of this work is the creation of a new tool which will help BestValue to demonstrate how the acquirer can create value with a targeted company. Moreover, thanks to the Leverage Buy-Out method, the understanding of the financial aspects of the purchase is the second output of this work.

The subject of business valuation is a very controversial one. Indeed, many practitioners agree that it is not an exact science. It is therefore understandable that the valuation of Belgian small and medium-sized enterprises is even more so. The lack of visibility of the market makes comparisons almost impossible and involves varied and poorly formalized methodologies. In addition, there are many evaluation techniques and can lead to results that are very different from each other. These differences are mainly due to the parameters used in the implementation of methods. This project-thesis will therefore be divided into two main parts. The first one will present in a theoretical way the different valuation techniques of the host company. It will provide the necessary information to the reader so that he or she can have the knowledge necessary for a proper understanding of the project. The second part will discuss the analyses carried out on the company's operational tool as well as the research carried out on the market, with professionals in the field. The results obtained will then be presented and will lead to modifications and improvements to the Excel tool, which will also be developed in this part of the work. This paper will therefore address some of the parameters used when implementing techniques, such as Small Firm Premium or the amount of equity capital used. It will also make it possible to analyze the relevance of the methods implemented and the accuracy of new techniques. Finally, advice and suggestions will be given to the company in order to enable it to better defend its files and obtain valuation results closer to the prices the market accepts to pay.
