How WACC should be computed to begin a valuation

I cannot seem to begin a valuation. In order to compute E + D = VA (FCF; WACC) I require the WACC and to compute the WACC I need D and E. Where must I start?

The method of valuation that uses the WACC is an iterative process. This can be started by seeming a certain debt and WACC. After we acquire the value, we can check whether this coincides with the initially predicted debt. If this does not, we change this and so on. If the process is completed with an electronic spreadsheet, the spreadsheet understands the iterations until acquiring consistent values for the WACC and for the shares and debt.
