Contentious Valuations

The use of valuation techniques to help resolve disputes is becoming increasingly important. It may be that you simply cannot agree on the price at which you are going to buy or sell your business. Alternatively, matters may be more acrimonious and you need an expert report covering value to present before a court or a tribunal.

Whatever the circumstances, Harwood Hutton has extensive experience of providing clients and their advisors with business valuations. We ensure the advice given is proportionate to the circumstances of the case. We will consider your business’ future prospects at the time of the dispute and, where available, we will make use of contemporaneous budgets and cash flow forecasts. We will access comparable company data when considering price/earnings multiples that might have applied.

Care in researching data from your business and from comparable businesses at the appropriate time is an important element of our contentious valuation work and underpins the expert reports we produce.
