Business valuations

Valuing a business is a key part of succession or exit planning but there will be other times during the life of your business when calculating your company’s worth can be beneficial.

  • Securing investment – investors will expect to see a realistic value before agreeing to provide finance
  • Shares – if you are planning to offer a share save scheme to employees they will expect to see that the shares are a good value investment

An accurate valuation ensures you are neither selling your business short nor overstating its true worth.
