Would you like to determine the value of your business? For example, in preparation for an acquisition, merger, sale, restructuring or shareholder buy-out? A valuation provides insight into the economic and tax value of your business and forms an important basis for strategic decision-making.

RSM performs valuations for small and medium-sized enterprises and mid-market businesses. Every valuation is tailored to the specific characteristics of your business, the market in which you operate and the key value drivers.

When is a valuation relevant?

A valuation may be required in a variety of situations, including:

  • the acquisition or sale of a business;
  • mergers and acquisitions;
  • shareholder buy-outs;
  • divorce or legal disputes;
  • restructurings;
  • tax matters and financial reporting.

A well-supported valuation provides insight into the value of your business and supports decision-making, negotiations and financial reporting.

How do we determine the value of your business?

Every valuation starts with a thorough understanding of your business. We assess, among other things:

  • your business model and strategy;
  • the market in which you operate and your competitive position;
  • financial performance and forecasts;
  • tax and legal considerations.

Based on this analysis, we determine the value using recognised valuation methodologies, including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method and market-based approaches. The methodology applied depends on the purpose of the valuation and the specific characteristics of your business.

The result: a well-supported valuation

You receive a clear and carefully substantiated valuation report that can be used:

  • during purchase or sale negotiations;
  • in discussions with shareholders;
  • for tax purposes or legal proceedings;
  • to support strategic decision-making;
  • for financial reporting.

We explain the outcome of the valuation, including the methodology, assumptions and conclusions, so that you have a clear understanding of how the value has been determined.

Frequently asked questions about valuation:

Our Registered Valuators perform a wide range of valuation engagements, including valuations for mergers and acquisitions, tax purposes, financial reporting (such as impairment and Purchase Price Allocation), shareholder disputes, restructurings and legal proceedings.

The cost of a valuation depends on the size of the business, the complexity of the assignment and the purpose of the valuation. Following an initial discussion, we will provide a proposal tailored to your specific situation.

The duration depends on the complexity of the assignment. A valuation typically consists of an initial assessment, analysis of the business and the market, review of the financial information, application of the appropriate valuation methodology and preparation of the valuation report.

The value of a business depends on the assumptions, valuation methodology and perspective adopted for the valuation. The final price is determined through negotiations between buyer and seller and may differ from the assessed value.
