Diligence & Governance

Know the
true value of your business.

Valuations for IPO pricing, pre-IPO funding, private placements and M&A, using DCF, market comparables and asset-based methods.

Before an SME IPO, a Mainline IPO or a private raise, you need a number you can defend. We value companies, assets and projects for owners and investors.

Our valuation methods.

We use discounted cash flow, which converts expected future cash flows into present value, the market comparable method, which compares you with similar businesses, and asset-based valuation, which works from the balance sheet. Each is adjusted for growth prospects, market conditions and risk.

Valuations for every need.

We prepare valuations for pre-IPO funding and private placement, mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting and GAAP/IFRS compliance, tax and legal needs, intangible assets such as brands and patents, real estate, and shareholder or partnership changes.

A documented valuation gives you firmer ground when you negotiate with investors or buyers.
