Valuation
Addressing the thorny issue of value when a business is off-market
The valuation of companies is at the core of our corporate finance offering. This real world experience enables us to offer comprehensive and commercial valuation reports and advice for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
Our reports can be used for a variety of purposes, including: expert witness work, employee share schemes, investment portfolio valuation, buy-ins for external investors, share buy-backs, assessing offers, financial planning and exit planning for shareholders.
We have provided valuations in many diverse situations including high value divorce cases, pension scheme loans, group reorganisations, tax planning and shareholder disputes to name but a few. Our work can either be provided as part of our strategic planning or as a standalone independent expert.
We approach each valuation with the end goal in mind, seeking to match the overall cost with the specific requirement.
