Financial analysis is an important element for the understanding of business issues critical to Merasco's clients. Often a precondition, analysis facilitates the transaction and helps to form a well-grounded assessment of the fair value of a business. Valuation is the crucial element in corporate finance services and transactions.

Merasco usually forms its opinion based on valuation methods such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Economic Value Added method (EVA), Price/Earnings (P/E), Price/Revenue (P/R) and other multiples, including the benchmarking of competitors. Research and industry analyses supporting the screening and identification phase of an acquisition or a sales process are an inherent part of a successful transaction.
