Business Valuation - Estimation of the cost of the business

One of most important preparatory stages of the transaction is a multilevel estimation of cost of the business of the seller - business valuation. Often, the owners of companies have no opportunity to impartially estimate the cost of business or at least to identify the most essential parameters according to which assessment of business is made and its subsequent realization have to be carried out. Thus, a reasonable estimation of the cost of the business (business valuation) is extremely important, both for the buyer, not willing to overpay during transaction, and for the seller (the statistics shows that, when refusing the services of specialists to estimate the cost of the business, most of sellers lose in similar transactions from 30 to 90% of the real cost of the sold assets).

Within estimation of cost, our experts carry out:
  • Business assessment
  • Assessment of assets
  • Estimation of cost of the brand and other such services for assessment of intellectual property
