Business Valuation Service
Introduction
Essentially a business, as with any asset, is worth what somebody is willing to pay for it, and it is a matter of negotiation between a buyer and seller that ultimately determines the market value. However there are still times when a valuation is required, and this can sometimes be done by a specialist agent, perhaps an expert in your particular industry, or it can be done more generically by an Accountant.
An accountant’s valuation can be used for many purposes, such as when selling, buying, raising finance, exit planning, tax planning, employee share options, valuation of goodwill on incorporation, performance measurement and many other reasons. We offer a comprehensive and reliable service to facilitate all requirements.
