Valuations

Intelligent business decisions are not only about buying well. They’re also about selling well, especially when leveraging existing and potential worth of your organization. Organizations seek valuations for corporate governance or regulatory reasons, or because management wants to understand business value better so it can make better decisions. In these instances, a company is often at a critical juncture - it may be planning an acquisition, resolving a shareholder or a joint venture dispute, or seeking to reduce the gap between intrinsic and market value.

M&A Deals can be catalyst for wider value creation. As a seller, being able to articulate value creation opportunities pre-deal can help capture some of that upside in the sale price. As a buyer, being able to identify and quantify value creation levers could make a difference between a successful or failed bid.
