Business Valuations

From time to time all forms of businesses, including individuals, will need an independent professional valuation.

Regardless of whether the circumstances surrounding the valuation are straightforward or extremely complex, the engagement of an independent professional expert is paramount in ensuring the issues relevant to each situation are appropriately considered.

Valuations can be conducted for a wide range of reasons including:

• purchase, sale or merger of a business or any of its related assets
• litigation (including family law)
• management buyouts
• family and succession planning
• joint ventures
• review of potential investments
• due diligence
• minority shareholdings
• capital raisings or initial public offerings (IPOs)
• restructuring
• dispute resolution (including litigation)
• capital gains tax and stamp duty
• long term incentive programs

Our valuations will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the various court rules and professional requirements.

We ensure all staff working within the valuation division also undertake general accounting and taxation services for small to medium business. This ensures we are in touch with the issues relevant to business and intimately understand the risks and opportunities the business may encounter. This ultimately means we’re in the best position to give the best estimate of true market value of your business.

In our view, you can’t value a business by sitting at your desk. That’s why unless specifically instructed otherwise, we will visit every business we will value, taking the time and effort to ensure we understand the issues in your business first hand.

To identify key issues in any potential valuation some clients just need a discussion, without committing to a full valuation,. If that’s your requirement, we’re happy to discuss specific valuations with a simple and concise explanation of the likely valuation process.
