Business Asset and Share Valuations

“There is no topic about which greater differences of informed opinion may exist than the value of a business”

A sound valuation will be based upon all the relevant facts, but the elements of common sense, informed judgement and reasonableness must enter into the process of weighting facts and determining their aggregate significance.

We at Gilmore Brown Ltd have vast experience in providing Business Asset and Share Valuations for all sizes and shapes of businesses.

As members of The New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants we are bound to adhere to Valuation Standards prescribing minimum requirements for independent Business Asset and Share Valuations.

Reasons for valuations include:

• sale of shares or business assets
• advice to bidder
• litigation/arbitration/dispute resolution
• valuation of security for lending purposes
• statutory requirements, e.g. tax
• accounting purposes, e.g. purchase price allocation
• in accordance with constitutional provisions (fair value)

If for these or any other reason you require a valuation for your business please contact our office.
