Valuing a business is difficult. You need to make some fundamental assumptions regarding future cash flows and the cost of capital for the company. The financial structure of the company will also be important, and there are also assumptions that need to be made regarding tax. If you get any of these wrong, it can severely affect the accuracy of the valuation. I would recommend talking to an accountant who may have some corporate finance experience.
