Find out exactly what your business is worth

Calculating the value of a business is essential for a wide range of situations – but it can be a complex process. Whether you’re planning for tax purposes, preparing to sell your business, leaving your position as a shareholder or facing legal proceedings, it takes experience and judgement to sift through the layers of detail to deliver an accurate valuation.

How can our business valuation advisers help?

Business sales and acquisitions

We’ll provide you with an objective and accurate assessment of the value of a business. This is crucial for both buyers and sellers when determining a fair price for a business or negotiating terms of a transaction.

Intangible assets such as intellectual property, patents and copyrights can represent a significant portion of a business’ value; yet they are almost impossible to quantify without the support of a valuation expert.

Exit strategies

Getting an estimate for the value of a business is a key step in every exit strategy. Independent valuations can be used to assist in setting a fair asking price, negotiate the terms of a sale and evaluate the potential return on investment.

Tax compliance

+
-

Business valuations are often required to calculate the amount of tax due to be paid on completion of a transaction. Capital gains tax is a common consideration, though you may also need to know the amount of tax owed for inheritance tax purposes, or for established schemes such as the EMI scheme.

Competitor analysis

Our advisers can help you set a benchmark value for businesses in the same industry or market. This is useful to compare your revenue, profit margins, and growth potential to competitors, and account for this in your own business valuation.

We can provide an objective, unbiased estimate for the value of a business that can be used as legal evidence to support or refute a claim. This might be needed in the event of a dispute between shareholders, or in the distribution of assets following a divorce.
