409A Valuation Methodology: Income, Market, and Allocation Methods

409A valuation methodology runs in two layers: a valuation approach that sizes total equity value using the income, market, or asset method, then an allocation method, OPM, PWERM, or hybrid, that splits that value across the cap table to isolate common-stock fair market value. Indinero embeds the 409A inside CFO advisory and has run continuous operations since 2009, picking the method that fits your cap table and stage.
