Share and Business Valuations
Valuing a business or shares in a private company is an inexact science as the value depends largely on its future prospects which cannot be calculated with certainty.
Judgement is therefore required in a number of areas which gives scope for two different accountants to arrive at alternative valuations.
The need for valuations
Our experience of undertaking valuations in a variety of circumstances includes:-
- Shareholder disputes
- Partnership disputes
- Expert accounting witness reports
- Matrimonial disputes
- s459 oppression of minority claims
- Appointment of an independent accountant in accordance with the Articles of Association
- Capital gains tax or inheritance tax valuations involving agreement of the valuation with the Inland Revenue's Shares Valuation Division
- The independent valuation of non-cash consideration under section 108 or 109 of the Companies Act 1985.
