Business Valuations

Business Sellers

If you are thinking of buying or selling a business, we can assist you with the valuation process along with consideration of the various commercial and tax issues which may have a substantial impact on any transaction.

By identifying potential areas well in advance, we can work with you to address any issue to maximise the value of your business and where possible reduce the amount of tax payable on sale by taking advantage of any tax concessions or roll-over relief which may be available.

Due diligence reviews

We also assist business owners who are considering purchasing an existing business by conducting a Financial Due Diligence (FDD) prior to you signing a contract.

This process involves us undertaking a review of the Seller’s financial records and other information to give a greater degree of comfort in terms of the accuracy of the financial reports of the business as well as identifying any tax, commercial, legal or operational issues – before you buy it!

This process can also assist the funding of the acquisition as it gives bankers and investors greater confidence that you have performed the necessary checks and balances.
