Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need a business valuation?
To determine your business’s true market value—essential for selling, buying, planning for succession, resolving disputes, or strategic decision-making.
How is a business valuation conducted?
We analyse financial performance, market position, industry benchmarks, and future growth using proven valuation methods tailored to your business.
How long does the valuation process take?
Usually 1–3 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your business and how quickly we receive the necessary documentation.
What documents will you need from me?
Key items include financial statements, tax returns, asset registers, and business plans or forecasts.
What valuation methods do you use?
There are three standard approaches:
-
Asset-Based – Values tangible and intangible assets.
-
Market Approach – Compares recent sales of similar businesses.
-
Income Approach – Focuses on business earnings. We specifically use the Capitalisation of Earnings method, which values the business as a going concern based on adjusted historical profits. It does not factor in speculative future growth.
