Valuations

Knowing your value drivers is key for your business value

A valuation of a business or part of a business is often needed when there is a shareholder dispute, a potential sale or purchase, business succession, or simply the year-end audit process. Those are usually stressful times, and you only have one opportunity to present all of the facts appropriately in order to secure the optimum result. Achieving this involves a delicate interplay of financial knowledge, legal expertise, technical knowledge and commercial pragmatism.

Our professionals will present you with the value of a (part of a) business taking into account the underlying facts and figures, the value drivers of the business, the strong and weak points of the business, the market developments and related threats & opportunities. Our focus is on the current possibilities and future prospects of your business. A valuation will assist in amongst others the following transactions:

• Purchase of or sale to an external party
• Transfer within the family
• Tax issues
• Dispute situations / damages assessments
• Share option schemes and employee participation
• (International) restructuring
• Estate division
• Accounting technical reasons (such as purchase price allocations (PPA) and impairment tests)

Are you in one of the above situations? Please feel free to contact one of our professionals for an introduction meeting to determine if and how we can be of service to you.
