Business Valuation Services

Most business owners want to know, just like the head of a publicly traded company, the value of their business for various purposes:​

However, many business owners do not know the current value of their business, which can be essential for their planning and exit strategy, i.e. valuation of business for sale, spin-off and merger. Therefore, obtaining an independent, supportable business valuation is critical.

The valuation of a business is influenced by a number of factors, such as the industry in which the target company is located, its stage of development and the structure of its investment capital. The various purposes for which an enterprise value assessment is performed, the applicable local regulations, and the applicable valuation methodologies add to the professional complexity of the case.

The value creation journey of each business does not follow a single path, but rather a multitude of evolutions derived from the uniqueness of each industry and the stage in the life cycle of the target company at the time. Whether clients need to perform valuation analysis for different purposes such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic planning, financial reporting, taxation, business restructuring or disputes and litigation, our extensive valuation experience has enabled us to accurately grasp the core concepts required for enterprise value assessment.

What we can help you

Pretium Advisory provides comprehensive valuation services for privately held businesses. Our team has expertise in providing you with a professional evaluation of your business. The basis of an enterprise value assessment is the ability to understand how the target company implements its strategy and uses its invested capital to achieve or exceed the required return on its cost of capital.

Business valuations are also required for financial reporting purposes. We assist management through providing the necessary independent audit evidence required by external auditors in accounting for a business acquisition with a purchase price allocation or the ongoing asset impairment testing (e.g. goodwill impairment).

We understand the ever-changing regulations, current market valuation pricing and bring practical advice to complex engagements. We can offer different types of valuation reports, ranging from an opinion letter to a full, comprehensive valuation report adapted to clients’ need and in compliance with International Valuation Standards 2017 (IVS).
