In business, value is more than just a number—it's a strategic asset. A professional and independent valuation provides a defensible assessment of the economic worth of a business, asset, or security. Whether you are planning a merger, seeking investment, or resolving a dispute, a credible valuation is the foundation upon which critical financial decisions are made.
When Are Valuation Services Essential? Valuation is not just a formality; it is a crucial requirement in numerous business scenarios:
- Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A): Determining a fair price for buying or selling a business.
- Fundraising: Justifying the company’s worth to potential investors and establishing the equity price.
- Financial Reporting: Complying with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for goodwill impairment, share-based payments, and fair value accounting.
- Shareholder Disputes: Resolving disagreements and facilitating shareholder buyouts with an objective value.
- Litigation Support: Providing expert financial opinions in legal disputes.
- Strategic Planning: Understanding the value drivers of your business to inform future strategy.
The Valuation Process:
A Blend of Art and Science A credible valuation relies on internationally accepted methodologies and professional judgment.
The three main approaches are:
- Income Approach (e.g., Discounted Cash Flow - DCF) Values a business based on its ability to generate future cash flows.
- Market Approach (e.g., Comparable Company Analysis) Benchmarks the business against similar companies that have been recently sold or are publicly traded.
- Asset-Based Approach Values a business based on the collective worth of its assets.
A robust valuation report clearly explains the methodologies used, the assumptions made, and provides a conclusion that is both transparent and defensible under scrutiny.
