Valuations

The context for business and asset valuations ranges significantly – from routine accounting and regulatory compliance to asset divestment and sales, collateral value for lending, shareholder disputes and business sales. Our team of valuation experts deliver rigorous, empirically anchored, and timely independent valuations for a variety of purposes whatever the catalyst.

We adopt a systematic and structured approach to valuation beyond the traditional financial advisory role to understand the idiosyncratic value drivers of a business within the context of the sector and the broader market environment. Our valuations are rigorously backed by detailed market research, recent comparables, sophisticated modelling and thorough documentation. We offer the following valuation services:

• Enterprise Valuation: Employing standard metrics like discounted cash flows (DCF), transaction multiples, business comparisons, alongside industry-specific methodologies to reach a nuanced understanding of value. Fair Value Measurements: Delivering precise valuations of assets or entities in prevailing market conditions to key stakeholders, including boards of directors, corporate executives, private equity, and hedge funds to inform decision-making
• Litigation and Dispute Advisory Services: Providing independent valuations and expert testimony for complex commercial and litigation matters in support of legal proceedings
• Hedge Funds: Mark-to-market (MTM) valuations for financial and investor reporting of portfolio assets
• Goodwill, Intangible Asset Impairments and Purchase Price Allocations: Required analysis and consultation to test goodwill impairment, including intangibles and long-lived assets
• Business Advisory: Valuations for restructurings, recapitalisation, negotiations with creditors, M&A advisory, business unit assessment and regulatory reporting, as well as estate and gift planning
• Corporate Recovery and Reorganisation: Valuations for companies in all stages of financial distress, including going concern equity valuations, market and liquidation values of tangible and intangible assets
• Property Valuations: Undertaken by Eddisons, our firm of chartered surveyors, these valuations offer a comprehensive assessment of all real estate asset classes

Our team excels in collaborating with our clients’ other professional advisers, ensuring the timely delivery of a robust and actionable independent valuation report.
