Business valuation tools

Premier Edition only - Impress sophisticated investors with an investment analysis and valuation. Calculate valuation based on sales or earnings and calculate IRR and NPV.

This table deals with two types of investment analysis, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV). Investment analysis views the company from the investor's point of view. For the investor, there is only one flow into the company that matters — the investment — and there are only two flows back out as returns — dividends and equity valuation. This table deals with this issue in detail.

Track investment offerings

Premier Edition only - Business planners seeking multiple rounds of investment can use this table to plan for outside investment and track investment amounts, ownership, shares, share prices, and stock dilution. Your prospective investors will want to see this information.
