Business Valuations

BCS has extensive experience in the valuation of many types of non-listed business entities for commercial, litigation and statutory purposes.

Valuing a business is often a complex process. Markets do not exist for many businesses, so the process of comparative valuation (comparing like with like) which is the most desirable method of valuation, is often not possible. Not only is industry knowledge crucial, but at times different valuation methods must be combined in order to arrive at an appropriate value.

Valuing intangible assets, such as goodwill and intellectual property, is also complex with the involvement of elements such as brands, business names, trade marks, and domain names. Normally, such intellectual capital is a business’s greatest asset. It is therefore sometimes necessary for us to engage industry experts to determine the optimum value of the business.
