A company’s trading potential, property and assets will be considered when working out how much it is worth. We have experts who can complete valuations for each accurately and ensure you pay or receive the right fee during the transaction.

How are businesses valued?

Trade-related valuation

Trade-related valuations are completed to determine a business’s trading potential. These appraisals consider financial details like turnover, staff costs and EBITDA, which gives buyers and sellers a better understanding of how much the company could make in the present and future.

Property valuation

Freehold business sales include a property in the transaction, so the premises must be valued as part of the deal. The building condition, the location and market data are amongst the most important considerations during the process.

Asset valuation

If assets like machinery or vehicles are included in the sale, they will need to be added to an inventory list and valued. Asset condition, market data and scarcity will usually be considered by the appraiser.

“Understanding the true value of a business is crucial. Our appraisals are backed by experience, data and industry insight.”
