The need
Are you:
- An investor wondering what is going on in your company?
- A shareholder with a concern about the financial state of your company? A bank seeking a report on a banking proposal or an independent review of the financial performance
of a client business?
- A businessperson with a corporate transaction to investigate?
- A lawyer or a litigant in need of an expert opinion in connection with a legal dispute?
- A business person or professional in need of a valuation report on a business or shares?
Credentials
We have unrivalled experience in examining and assessing the key components of a business or business proposal.
Our approach is highly professional with great attention to detail. Crucially, all of our work is firmly based on a sound understanding of financial and economic theory which makes it very robust in the face of challenge from third parties.
An accurate valuation requires a detailed knowledge and analysis of the key value drivers as well as current market forces. While complex financial modelling and methodologies are useful valuation tools, a company is only worth the future cash flows that it can generate and we at Horwath Bastow Charleton Limerick understand this. It is vital to evaluate the quality of future earnings and cash flows in conjunction with market dynamics.
Valuations are case-specific – different buyers may reasonably arrive at widely different values where none is wrong. We have the experience and conceptual framework to understand and predict the different valuations that may be applied to a case.
The valuation process requires in-depth consideration of:
- Business operations and structure
- Appropriate projection and valuation methodologies
- Appropriate risk factors and indices
- Appropriate investment rates of returns based on risk/reward
- Key drivers of business value
- Financial forecasts/ business plans
- Integrity of underlying data
- Market analysis
- Taxation implications
- Timing and stage of business growth
Valuations, investigations and business reviews:
Our experience and training will guarantee that all critical issues are researched and examined thoroughly. We will carry out an in-depth investigation and provide you with objective and relevant information.
We will work hand-in-hand with you until you are completely satisfied that the true worth of your asset has been established. But we understand the importance of getting it right. Our wealth of experience and access to extensive historical evidence allows us to provide you with an accurate valuation of your asset or business, no matter how big or small.
We will communicate our findings to you in a brief but concise document. This document will highlight the key issues while providing a summary of all the relevant information.
