The age-old adage that your business is only worth what someone is willing to buy it for is very true. Many owners have never undertaken a formal valuation and do not fully understand the value that a potential purchaser would place on the business.
This value will vary depending on a number of circumstances including:
- Who the potential purchaser is
- Market conditions
- Your position in the market, are you a market leader?
- The synergies that any purchaser will be able to gain from acquiring your business
Our team is experienced in undertaking both formal and informal valuations on behalf of clients for a variety of purposes. There are many circumstances when a valuation of your business or your share in a business is required for example:
- Disposing of shares
- Acquiring a business
- As part of management buy out (MBO) or management buy in (MBI)
- During shareholder disputes
- Setting up of share options
- Share restructurings
We also carry out valuations for fiscal (tax) purposes.
