Business valuations

Calculating the value of companies

We regularly provide business valuations for clients involved with employee share schemes, share disposals, or probate matters where it’s essential to establish an arm’s-length valuation that meets HMRC requirements.

Business valuations play a crucial role in determining the true value of a business for a variety of reasons, including tax valuations, financial reporting, purchase price allocations, and supporting strategic decisions within corporate finance. Valuing businesses usually involves a thorough assessment of both tangible and intangible assets, such as intellectual property, net assets, and management incentives.

Our experienced team works closely with clients to deliver independent valuations tailored to their unique circumstances, ensuring accurate outcomes that comply with UK GAAP and regulatory standards. We also support clients through legal proceedings and dispute resolution by providing expert advice and fairness opinions.

With extensive experience handling complex structures, minority shareholdings, family businesses, and start-ups, we draw on a wider network of expertise to provide valuations that act as a trusted reference point for investment decisions, transactions, and business planning.
