Valuations

Independent valuations need a blend of analysis, experience and professional judgement otherwise they might not stand up to the scrutiny they will receive.

Valuations might be needed for various reasons. They might be required by statute or regulation, to settle a dispute or for commercial reasons. In any such situation independent strategic advice will help you make an informed decision.

Grant Thornton firms use robust methodologies. Experts with deep experience of valuations, across many different industries and types of company, use the methodology that will get to the right answer. That answer takes account of national and international regulatory issues.

Valuations include advice on:

• assessing the value of unlisted and listed companies, businesses and intangible assets for acquisition, disposal, merger, reorganisation or restructuring
• satisfying regulatory requirements by providing a fairness opinion on a transaction
• providing expert advisor opinion for corporates or shareholders involving disputes and litigation
• dealing with the latest accounting requirements including acquisition accounting and impairment testing under IFRS / IAS and US GAAP
• the issue of share options and ongoing valuation requirements
• valuations for tax purposes, maximising tax benefits for individuals and organisations
