What’s it worth?
In the field of finance, business valuation is widely regarded as more an art than a science. It is controversial, complex and requires a wide range of expertise and professional judgment to arrive at valuations that are defensible. Valuation products must be logical, understandable and be able to reflect the underlying fundamentals of a business to consistently support its value conclusions.
In addition to conducting a valuation exercise as triggered by transactions, raising debt, capital and regulatory requirements, we believe that it is imperative that business owners have a realistic and up-to-date understanding of their business value. We believe that such an understanding helps the key decision makers of a business be smart about creating greater business value. When the decision makers of a business know how much value they need to create to meet their objectives, it helps them determine where they need to concentrate their time and effort.
