Service Description

Business valuation is a process and a set of procedures used to estimate the economic value of an owner’s interest in a business. It is used in the financial and business markets to determine the price that market participants are willing to pay or receive to effect a sale or purchase of a business or an entity. Articulating a value encompasses estimating the values of individual assets and liabilities, which typically include intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, real estate and financial instruments such as debts, derivatives and hybrid securities. Regulators are demanding greater transparency through fair value reporting, putting more emphasis on the importance of valuation and value analysis. With the rise of fair value accounting, the realm of financial reporting has also required the valuation of assets and liabilities. For example, standards such as FRS 113 Fair Value Measurement, FRS 103 Business Combinations, FRS 40 Investment Property, FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and FRS 38 Intangible Assets all stipulate the need for valuations of assets and liabilities under different circumstances. Undertaking a valuation exercise requires an in-depth understanding of the subject to be valued including an analysis of factors such as market conditions, the regulatory environment as well as competition.
