Key Takeaways
- Two perspectives of company valuation: The valuation for employee participation must be thought through both internally (from the company's point of view) and externally (tax valuation) in order to create fair conditions.
- Simple and advanced methods: Startups can work with simplified valuation approaches, while established companies should often resort to income valuation methods or detailed appraisals.
- Tax stumbling blocks: In the case of discounted employee shares, the so-called dry income taxation often applies, which can cause considerable tax burdens. Careful planning is therefore essential.
- Flexibility in valuation: Companies should find a valuation that fits the current business situation and at the same time build in mechanisms to be able to react flexibly to future economic developments.
- Practical tips: Instead of relying on the latest round of funding, companies should consider valuation clauses to create fair and viable participation models.
