Our Company & Business Valuation Process
All businesses and companies are unique. Our valuation methods are tailored in consideration of the unique nature of your specific business, its industry, risks, stakeholders, purpose of valuation, financial performance and market conditions.
Our typical process is outlined below:
1. Initial no-cost review
We commence by reviewing information regarding the business and/or company to the extent that this is available. In doing so, we will often review documents such as financial statements, the subject business’ marketing collateral, and prepare an addback schedule to understand business performance. This review allows us to make an early determination of the nature of investigations we will need to undertake, as well as to understand the technical approaches required in valuing the business or company.
2. Confirm scope of engagement and advise professional fees
Following the conduct of our initial review, we will advise you of our professional fees to undertake business valuations, and the scope of our engagement.
3. Data and information request
We prepare a thorough information and data request schedule to enable an accurate valuation of your business and/or company. This data request is typically tailored to lessen the stress and the pressure involved when our clients gather their data.
4. Initial data and information review
We review the data and information provided in response to our information and data request schedule. We then conduct technical analysis, and review any additional data or information required to complete our business valuation services.
5. Business valuation report preparation
We will provide you with a report presenting our expert evaluation of the value of the business and/or company. The report will clearly advise the key risks inherent in the business. This includes for example, consideration of the industry, nature of the business, client concentration, and future and historical financial performance. We also provide comprehensive explanations to provide reasoning for selecting specific business valuation methods, and our calculation of value derived from the valuation method.
6. Meetings with you and your advisors
We typically conduct regular meetings with you and your other professional advisors, such as your accountants and lawyers. This is to provide time-sensitive advice regarding the nature of the business and the proposed valuation. We are committed to maintaining ongoing communication and engagement with our clients.
