Project & Company Valuation

When you are deciding whether to buy a business, invest in a project or sell your shares, the question underneath every other question is what it is worth. RN Canada values businesses, projects and assets for Alberta and British Columbia owners and investors — building the projections and applying the methods that turn a price into a defensible decision. Whether you are weighing an acquisition, sizing an investment or planning a share sale, we give you a view of value grounded in the target's own numbers.

What RN Canada does

We value a target business, project or asset to support a real decision — most often a purchase, an investment or a transaction. The work starts with the fundamentals: the asset and resource structure, how the business or project is financed, and its profitability. From there we build multi-year projections — commonly three, five or ten years — that show how the asset is expected to perform over the horizon that matters for the decision. We then apply recognised valuation methods:

• Discounted cash flow (DCF). Projecting future cash flows and discounting them to present value, so a return earned over years can be compared to a price paid today.
• Internal rate of return (IRR). The return the investment is expected to generate, so it can be measured against your required return and against alternatives.
• Budget and projection analysis. Testing the assumptions behind the projections so the valuation rests on a realistic plan, not an optimistic one.

Valuing for an investment decision

For an investment or acquisition, the valuation is the analysis behind the go/no-go. We model the target's expected performance over a three-, five- or ten-year horizon, discount the projected cash flows to today's value, and assess the internal rate of return against the price. The output is not a single number in isolation but a structured view of whether the asset's expected cash generation justifies the capital, and how sensitive that conclusion is to the key assumptions. That lets you negotiate from evidence and walk away when the numbers do not support the price.

Valuing for a share sale or succession

A valuation also matters when you are selling — or transferring — your company. A credible value supports the price and underpins the tax planning around the sale. On a sale of qualifying small business corporation shares, the lifetime capital gains exemption (LCGE) can shelter a substantial gain: $1,250,000 for 2024 and 2025, indexed from 2026, with capital gains included in income at a 50% inclusion rate.

RN Canada advises and prepares the analysis; we do not file your tax return.

Who it's for

This service fits owners and investors weighing an acquisition or a project investment, business owners planning a share sale or succession who need a defensible value, companies raising capital or restructuring ownership, and anyone who needs a structured, evidence-based answer to what a business, project or asset is genuinely worth before committing to a decision.
