Are you trying to get a deal done, but you’re not sure what the value of the business is? Or do you have a dispute you’re trying to resolve?
Sometimes it’s best to let the experts settle the situation. Business valuations benefit owners in all sorts of unusual situations, and our Special Advisory Team has seen them all.
We give you advice on what you actually need first. Because sometimes a business valuation isn’t the answer. This can save you a lot of money, and we won’t charge you for the first meeting.
Please note that we don’t do property valuations – we specialise in business and share valuations.
Valuation work we do really well
Relationship property disputes
We can prepare expert-level valuations that can be used in legal proceedings, but sometimes a valuation report isn’t required. Sometimes there are more efficient ways to do things – you can count on us to always give you advice on what you actually need.
Insurance valuations
Do you have shareholder protection insurance? We can do the valuation to support your insurance policy if one is required.
Selling, buying, restructuring or raising capital for your business
These are the obvious situations for a valuation, but one size doesn’t fit all. We have tax experts at hand if part of your business is expanding offshore, and we’ve had plenty of experience with buying, selling, and investing in businesses.
Litigation support valuations
Suing someone? Being sued? We can look at how much money you’ve lost (or are being sued for) and give you an expert-level report that can be used in court as evidence. We can also appear as expert witnesses if required.
Valuing a business loss
Is the government putting a motorway through your business? It’s not an ideal situation to find yourself in. We can help with the compensation, acquisition or relocation claim – we’ve done lots of these and know the process inside and out.
Employees, succession and ESOPs
It’s not easy working out how to pass the baton, let alone what your business is worth. ESOPs and earn-outs are something we do really well, and we use them ourselves for our own staff.
Relationship property disputes
We joined a mediation to help untangle a mess of business assets involving tens of millions of dollars and negotiated a result that everyone was happy with.
We wrote a critique of another expert’s valuation, which helped sort out a relationship property dispute before it went to court.
Restructuring your business
We valued the intellectual property (IP) of a company restructuring globally, to help transfer it to another country to fit with the new business structure.
Buying or selling your business
We help all the way through the process – we’ve helped many people with working through the value of businesses and managing the due diligence process.
Business loss
We helped a group of eight businesses work through the Public Works Act and value their businesses’ loss. This can be a difficult and emotional process for SMEs where businesses are an important part of the owners’ lives. We were able to get a good result in the end.
