Core Engagement
Business valuation services
Independent valuation analysis prepared to the standard expected in a transaction process — a defensible range, a working model and an assumption trail that survives review by a counterparty, an investment committee or an auditor.
When it is used
Sale and acquisition processes
Valuation ranges supporting bid preparation, negotiation and board discussion on buy-side or sell-side mandates.
Fundraising and investor materials
Pre-money and post-money analysis, dilution mechanics and valuation support for equity raises.
Fairness and internal review
Independent cross-checks where an existing valuation needs to be tested before it is relied upon.
Shareholder and restructuring events
Buy-outs, share transfers, ESOP exercises and reorganisations requiring a documented valuation basis.
Methods applied
Each engagement triangulates across methods rather than defending a single number, and differences between methods are explained rather than averaged away.
Discounted cash flow
Explicit forecast period, normalised free cash flow, WACC build-up and terminal value tested across scenarios.
Trading comparables
Screened peer set, calendarised and adjusted multiples, and a reasoned view on where the subject sits within the range.
Precedent transactions
Comparable deals with disclosed consideration, adjusted for control premia, synergies and market conditions.
Enterprise-to-equity bridge
Net debt, debt-like items, surplus assets and minority interests reconciled to an equity value conclusion.
What is delivered
Valuation model
Fully linked Excel model with visible drivers, live sensitivities and no hardcoded outputs.
Football field summary
Method-by-method range with the assumptions driving each end of the range.
Assumption log
Every judgemental input recorded with source and rationale so the conclusion is reviewable.
Presentation-ready output
Exhibits formatted for inclusion in an information memorandum, board pack or investment committee paper.
Engagement process
Typical turnaround is two to three weeks from receipt of a complete information set, with interim output shared as the analysis develops.
