Business valuations are critically important for growth and long-term planning. They tell you what your company is worth today and in the future. Whether you're preparing to sell, seeking investment, or structuring incentives, getting an accurate, credible and defensible valuation is essential.
There are lots of times throughout a business journey when an independent, up-to-date valuation is needed. A valuation isn’t just a number. It has strategic purpose. Here are common triggers.
The right valuation from a reputable, independent advisor, can help you make better decisions faster, with greater confidence and reduced risk.
A business valuation is typically dominated by financial performance and health metrics, such as profitability, growth and balance sheet strength.
But a robust valuation drills down further, including quantitative analysis and contextual insight for your sector, customer behaviour and competitive positioning.
Contact UsWe dissect historical performance, your revenue trends, margins, capital structure, working capital, debt, and cash flow.
We stress-test future scenarios and incorporate risks, industry cycles and market outlooks.
Depending on context, we might use comparable company or transaction multiples, discounted cash flow (DCF), net assets, or hybrid approaches.
We strip out non-operational items, one-off costs, or owner benefits to arrive at a “clean” operating base.
Using market data and sector-specific multiples, we ensure your valuation is realistic and aligned with your industry and competitive position.
We will provide you with a clear, user friendly and defensible valuation report, and will communicate this with you and your stakeholders so that implications are clearly understood.
Typically, 3–5 weeks from all information being received to final report. More complex valuations (e.g. multi-group or niche sector) may take longer.
You can, technically. But we strongly advise against it. External valuations carry much more weight with third parties. They are more defensible, free of bias or conflict of interest, and greatly reduce negotiation risk.
No one method fits all. We use a wide range of methodologies across our client base and ensure that all valuations are conducted in a way that works for each business and its stakeholders.
We structure our approach very carefully to align with HMRC precedents and best practices, providing clear assumptions and market data to support conclusions. In other words, we reduce the risk of a no!!
We have great confidence in our work and are happy to assist in any negotiations or disputes, including provision of sensitivity ranges and expert witness roles wherever needed.
Absolutely. A valuation provides a credible benchmark for valuation of share options, equity awards and performance targets.
