There are a number of reasons a company may want to carry out a business valuation. They include:

• Buying and selling a business;
• Making a gift of shares in a company/stake in a partnership;
• For the purposes of probate;
• Share option schemes.

There at Kirk Rice, experience has taught us that valuing a business is more of an art form than an exact science. There are many things to be considered, and it's not just the organisation itself.

Our valuation technique combines some standard modelling and our own judgement - based on decades of experience. Of course, a firm's financial track record, its management structure, employees and its future prospects are all crucial to getting an accurate valuation. But there are peripheral things to consider to - like the economic environment, and the prospects of the particular industry a company operates in.
