Valuation & Financial modelling

A skilled, experienced and independent advisor dealing with your special desires and circumstances is a key factor in any successful valuation. The renowned quotation of Warren Buffett "It is far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price", best shows the importance of a valuation within a transaction.

Is the scope of valuation consistent with the criteria established at the beginning? Is it possible to accept a going concern scenario to valuate a company, including its assets required for operation? Does it involve a majority or a minority stake? Are the securities liquid? Does the valuation concern a listed company or a private SME?

The valuation process may also hide various obstacles. These include insufficient adjustments to the specific circumstances, inadequate valuation methods or issues related to different accounting standards.

We always choose valuation methods so that your specific requirements are best met and the risks are kept to a minimum.
