Are you considering selling your business or planning to take over a business? Are you involved in a dispute or are you considering a business succession (within the family)? A valuation of your business will, in any event, be a crucial part of the process.

Many entrepreneurs use the rule of thumb method or refer to their own capital (the intrinsic value) to estimate the value of their business. Establishing the market value of a business is, however, a far more complex issue.

Our advisers provide a thorough insight into the value (drivers) of your business. We present the development of your business in facts and figures, prepare a sound analysis of strong and weak points and of the risk profile of your business, and outline the most important sector developments and opportunities and threats arising from these. Our focus is on the current possibilities and future prospects of your business.

Insight into value

In summary a valuation provides you with insight into:

the current value of your business;
the value drivers of your business;
the (future) risks affecting your business;
potential pitfalls and discussion points in transactions;
the purchase price of a business you want to buy.

At BDO you are assured of specialist knowledge in combination with a personal approach. Our team includes Register Valuators (RV) and Register Accountants (RA) and has extensive experience in the field of business valuations. Our valuation experts have performed valuations in almost all sectors.
