Business valuations

Valuations are becoming more popular for a number of areas such as:

• Selling your business
• To resolve a dispute between shareholders
• To determine the value of a business for divorce proceedings
• To resolve tax issues particularly capital gains tax and inheritance tax
• To set the price for employee incentivisation schemes
• To manage the process of a retiring director shareholder

During this process independence is important so it is often the case that the incumbent accountants are not selected for the valuation. In these circumstances an experience professional may deal on both sides of any dispute or transaction. During this process we will access HMRC rules and get clearance with HMRC for the valuation.

We would thoroughly research and analyse the business and the business sector so that we could select the most appropriate valuation method.

We would analyse market data to assess previous disposals in the same or similar industries in order to make the case strong and defensible in court.
