 Business
valuations are required
for a variety of reasons:
 |
the transfer of equity |
|
|
family law purposes |
|
|
the purchase of a business |
|
|
in preparation for the sale of a business |
|
|
for taxation purposes during a reconstruction |
|
|
at the request of bankers |

|
or simply to ascertain what a businesses
is worth. |
Business valuations are also an important part of facilitating family
succession and generational transfer of business wealth.
A complex undertaking
Determining the value of a business is a complex matter which needs to be
undertaken carefully. The nature of the business needs to be understood, the
competitive environment needs to be considered, the current market sentiment
is relevant and most importantly there needs to be a clear understanding of
what exactly is being valued. Is it the shares or units representing the
underlying equity or is it the business? How do loan funds contributed by
the equity holders impact on the valuation?
