Business and Asset Valuations

Valuation sits at the heart of almost every transaction, financing, or regulatory event a business will encounter, from an acquisition or share transfer to financial reporting and statutory compliance. An independent, well-reasoned valuation gives all parties a defensible starting point for negotiation and helps satisfy the scrutiny of investors, auditors, and regulators alike. Our valuation practice provides objective opinions on the worth of businesses, shares, and specific assets across a wide range of purposes.

Why This Matters

An unsupported or poorly documented valuation can unravel a transaction, invite regulatory challenge, or create disputes between shareholders, partners, or family members. Valuation is as much about methodology and defensibility as it is about the final number, and stakeholders increasingly expect a transparent, well-documented basis for any figure used in a transaction or filing. Getting this wrong can have financial, legal, and reputational consequences long after the valuation report is delivered.

How We Help

Transaction Valuations

We provide valuation opinions to support M&A transactions, share transfers, buy-backs, and investment rounds, applying income, market, and asset-based approaches as appropriate to the situation and cross-checking results across methodologies for consistency.

Financial Reporting Valuations

We support valuations required for financial reporting purposes, including purchase price allocations, impairment testing, and fair value assessments of financial instruments, ensuring the analysis is prepared in a manner that withstands auditor and regulatory review.

Regulatory and Statutory Valuations

We prepare valuations required under company law, exchange control regulations, and tax statutes, including valuations for issue or transfer of shares, conversion of instruments, and other events that carry a statutory valuation requirement.

Specific Asset and Intangible Valuations

We value specific assets and intangibles, including brands, intellectual property, and other identifiable assets, where a transaction, dispute, or accounting requirement calls for a focused valuation rather than an enterprise-wide assessment.

Who Needs This

• Companies undertaking a transaction, restructuring, or share issuance
• Boards and audit committees requiring fair value assessments for financial statements
• Shareholders involved in a buy-back, exit, or family settlement
• Businesses with statutory valuation obligations under company or tax law

Our Approach

We select methodologies based on the nature of the business, the purpose of the valuation, and the standards applicable to the specific regulatory or reporting context, rather than defaulting to a single preferred technique. Every assumption is documented and benchmarked against observable market data wherever possible, so that the resulting opinion can stand up to scrutiny from counterparties, auditors, or regulators. We maintain independence from transaction outcomes, ensuring our valuation conclusions are driven by evidence rather than by what a client may wish the number to be.
