The value of a business unit or company is primarily based on its future earnings potential, but affected by other factors as well. Thus business value most often differs significantly from the value of the associated assets and its calculation requires a holistic approach. Our business valuation work is performed in accordance with the standards of international investment banks. We establish the value range of the business based on cash-flows, comparable market data and other methods (asset valuation, margin-based valuation, economic value added), while also considering factors specific to the situation and the industry.
The most frequent reasons for engaging our business valuation services are:
- To support preparations for a contemplated transaction (disposal, raising capital, acquisition)
- Preparation and support of shareholder decisions,
- Continuous monitoring of the company’s value
- Tax or accounting-related matters
- Legal disputes.
