Quoted from Wall Street Oasis.com, it describes discounted cash flow (DCF) process by estimating the total value of all future cash flows (both inflow and outflow), and then discounting them (usually using WeightedAverageCost of Capital – WACC ) to find a present value of the cash flow.
Market-Based Business Valuation Formula For a market-based calculation, use: CV = (EBITDA x 1.5) – (Current Liabilities x 0.5) Or V = (EBITDA * 1.3) / (Revenue – COGS) As an example, if a business's EBITDA is $300,000 and current liabilities are $50,000, the calculation would be: ($300,000 x 1.5) - ($50,000 x 0.5) = $425,000.

In the CCA method, valuation multiples such as P/E ratio, EV/Revenue ratio, and EV/EBITDA ratio, provide benchmarks for estimating value by comparing financial metrics to publicly traded companies.
