There are many different situations where you may wish to obtain a valuation of your business or of a commercial asset some of these include.
- Planning and evaluating a business acquisition or disposal
- Raising finance for a management buy-out
- Engaged in shareholder restructuring and corporate reorganisation
- Succession planning
- Involved in a dispute such as a marital dispute or litigation
Typical problems that we come across
- Net book valuations – The book valuation of the assets per the Balance Sheet is not a reliable valuation method. The book value often includes historical historical (sunk) costs and relatively arbitrary depreciation. These amounts are unlikely to be relevant to any purchaser (or seller).
- Unreasonable assumptions – Agreeing on the assumptions for projections based on historical trends and expected future occurrences and understanding the reasoning behind those assumption choices can be very difficult.
- Misinterpretation of comparable – Identifying and interpreting market comparables (both for public and private) can be challenging.
