Business valuations you can rely on.
Business valuations for M&A, fairness opinions, equity raises, employee share awards, shareholder exits and group restructures.
A valuation is rarely a single number. It is a reasoned range, built from the business’s earnings, cash flow, growth outlook and risks, and tested against how comparable businesses and transactions are priced.
We value businesses for owners, investors and boards, and for advisors who need an independent view for a specific purpose. The purpose matters, because it decides the basis of the valuation and what evidence is needed.
When a valuation is needed
- Selling or buying a business (M&A)
- Fairness opinions
- Equity raises and bringing in investors
- Employee share awards and incentive schemes
- Shareholder exits and buy-outs
- Group restructures
Who this is for
- Owners who want to know what their business is worth before a decision
- Boards and shareholders dealing with an exit or a dispute over price
- Investors and family offices assessing an opportunity
What methods do you use to value a business?
Common approaches include earnings or revenue multiples drawn from comparable businesses, discounted cash flow, and asset-based approaches. We choose and combine them according to the business and the purpose of the valuation.
How long does a valuation take?
It depends on the scope and how quickly information is available. We agree the scope and timetable with you at the start.
Will the valuation be accepted by buyers or Revenue?
A well-reasoned, independent valuation carries weight, but acceptance depends on the purpose and the other party. We tell you at the outset what the valuation can and cannot be used for.
What information do you need?
Typically recent accounts, management accounts, a forecast if available, and an understanding of customers, contracts and the market. We tell you exactly what is needed once we know the purpose.
