Business Valuation
Understanding the true economic value of your company is essential for informed decision-making. Our comprehensive business valuation services provide a precise assessment, considering all facets of your operations.
Business valuation is the process of deriving an economic value for your company. During the valuation process, all areas of a business are analyzed to determine the value and the worth of its departments or units.
A business valuation can be used to determine the fair value of a business for a variety of reasons, including sale value for the buyer or seller, establishing a merger with another company such as the recent Keppel Offshore and Marine and SembCorp Marine into a combined entity, taxation reason, government regulations, and even in family or divorce proceedings. Owners will often turn to professional business valuers for an objective estimate of the value of the business.
A business valuation might include an analysis of the company’s management, its future earnings forecasts or the fair value of its assets. Common approaches to business valuation include the use of similar company comparisons of a recent purchase, discounted cash flow models, etc.
