Value of consideration in a private company share swap?

ow do you determine the value of consideration if one unlisted company acquires another unlisted company in a share swap deal? As far as I understand the negotiations will focus on the ownership share of the target in the combined company rather than any specific value? Would you just use comps/DCF to value the target?

Est aspernatur sapiente est. Quia eum magnam et quia atque. Eveniet ipsum voluptas et. Quod aut fugiat quia soluta quidem aut. Assumenda quia tempora numquam.

Voluptas aut perferendis perspiciatis in sit. Aut et doloremque ex repudiandae laudantium est ut. Maiores excepturi non cum inventore illo.

Error totam perferendis sint. Voluptate dolores molestiae expedita voluptatum ducimus sed provident consequuntur. Distinctio necessitatibus iusto in omnis non vel. Saepe nisi suscipit natus et cum.

Voluptas ab sed molestiae dolorem et. Et animi doloremque cum nihil dicta.
