Business valuation

May be you are thinking about selling your business. Or may be you have the opportunity to buy another business. Especially in those situations, a business valuation is indispensable and gives you insight and guidance throughout the process.

But besides a transaction of shares, there are numerous other situations where a valuation of your business can be worthwhile.

It gives you clear insight into which factors determine value and are therefore crucial for stable and successful growth. This is why many entrepreneurs choose to have their company valued periodically, as a valuable tool for successful and proactive business.

Business valuation is a profession in its own right. Our experienced valuation experts are all graduated Business Valuators from the RSM Erasmus or TIAS Business School and, as Registered Valuators (RV), are affiliated with the trade association, the Dutch Institute for Registered Valuators (NIRV).

What is my business worth?

Many business owners have some idea of what their business should be worth. Often based on key figures circulating for the industry.

But in practice, time and again we find that a thorough business valuation leads to a quite different value. In this paper we distinguish the business approach and the market approach. We go into more detail about the various aspects involved.

Reasons for a business valuation

Many situations can arise where understanding the value of your business is critical. Some examples:

Binding your staff to the company by implementing an employee participation scheme.
In preparation for a purchase or sale of a business.
Management buy in (MBI) or management buy out (MBO).
Conflicts among shareholders.
