The regulations will require independent financial advisors registered with the FRA to adhere to new methods for valuing startups at different stages, including for initial public offerings (IPOs) and investor exits, Enterprise understands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> What\u2019s new? <\/strong> The FRA has introduced new venture capital valuation methods that factor in a number of variables to determine a startup\u2019s value in the pre-revenue stage, according to the statement. These include the company\u2019s value at the investor\u2019s planned time of exit, the expected return on investment (ROI), and the projected exit value. The statement outlines methods for calculating some of these variables. The valuation rules also include sectoral considerations and draw on SWOT analysis \u2014 an assessment of a company\u2019s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats \u2014 among other factors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Startups are a different animal: <\/strong> Before the FRA\u2019s decision, local standards for valuation only regulated the way \u201ctraditional companies\u201d already in operation are valued, our source told us. New rules were needed for startups because they operate under a different model. While well-established firms have financial statements and historical data that can be used in company valuations, new startups mostly draw on forecasts.
