Business Valuation
A valuation is an argument, not a number. What matters is whether it survives challenge.
Valuations get used in negotiations, disputes, raises and successions, and in each case somebody on the other side has an incentive to attack the assumptions.
We build valuations that state their method, show their inputs, and hold up when someone pushes back — which is a different exercise from producing a figure.
How the work runs

Understand the purpose
What the valuation is for decides the method and the standard.

Normalise the earnings
Strip one-offs, owner adjustments and related-party effects.
- 03
Apply and cross-check
Income, market and asset approaches, reconciled rather than averaged.
- 04
Document the reasoning
Every input sourced, every judgement stated.
