What should I expect when doing a business valuation?

​

​Determining a reliable valuation requires more than just strong accounting knowledge. It requires professional judgement and discretion. Contrary to common belief, it is not about 'getting to a number'. The consequences of an unreliable business valuation could mean paying too much in a transaction, selling for too low, shareholder conflicts and disputes, legal cases (and the associated costs) and failed start-ups. 

​

Getting around this means engaging with a valuations advisor that takes a structured approach, provides clear rationale behind assumptions, displays sound judgement, and considers more than one valuation methodology. They  undertake their work with a deep understanding of your business's operating model and the industry in which it operates; deriving a reliable valuation estimate from which key decisions can be made with confidence. Be wary of those that emphasise a speedy turnaround or quick 'back of the hand' answers. You could be leaving large sums of money on the table. 

​
