Valuations, Fairness Opinions and Appraisals

Companies seek valuations for corporate governance or regulatory reasons, or because management wants to know the value of an asset, subsidiary or investment to aid business decisions. In these instances the company is at a critical moment in its life. It may be planning a major acquisition, resolving a shareholder or joint venture dispute, or seeking to reduce the gap between intrinsic and market value.

Our valuation services team recognises that a valuation is not a simple numbers exercise and we spend time working to understand the business dynamics and its key value drivers. We draw on extensive experience and apply relevant valuation methodologies. We combine this with our deep sector knowledge and benchmarking analyses to offer value-added advice.

Your company may require:

• A fairness opinion on a transaction to satisfy regulatory requirements or corporate governance concerns.
• Independent and objective advice, to determine the right price to pay or accept for a business.
• Advice for joint ventures/alliances on equity splits at formation or exit in an independent or advocate role.
• Support for litigation or arbitration, particularly expert witness and adjudication work in business valuation disputes.
• Valuation opinions for unquoted debt or equity instruments.
• Supporting evidence to help raise equity or debt finance.
• Valuations of intangible assets or intellectual property such as brands, knowhow, trade marks, customer lists, intellectual property rights (IPR) and goodwill for commercial, tax or regulatory (SFAS 141/142) reasons.
