Business Valuations
Defensible valuations for tax, equity and growth, built on our own technology and reviewed by specialist advisers.
Know what your business, and its shares, are really worth.
Whether you are granting share options, raising investment, planning an exit or dealing with a tax event, you need a valuation you can stand behind. We prepare clear, well-evidenced valuations for UK and international businesses, with particular depth in option and share-scheme valuations for technology and high-growth companies.
When you need a valuation
From your first share option grant to a full exit, these are the moments a robust valuation matters.
EMI option valuations
Prepare the evidence for an unrestricted market value and support agreement with HMRC, so the company and option holders are protected at grant.
Share-based payments
Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing for the accounting charge under FRS 102 and IFRS 2, with transparent, documented assumptions.
Fundraising and investment
Valuation support for funding rounds, SEIS and EIS share issues, and investor and board reporting.
Exits and transactions
Valuations for sales, management buy-outs, share buy-backs and shareholder disputes.
Tax events
Valuations to support Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax and employment-related securities reporting.
Reorganisations
Values for share-for-share exchanges, demergers and intra-group transfers, including cross-border structures.
How we value
A clear, repeatable process from scoping to a report you can hand to HMRC, auditors or investors.
Agree the purpose and basis
We confirm why you need the valuation, the valuation date and the basis of value, because the purpose drives the method.
Gather the evidence
Financial statements, forecasts, the cap table, recent funding rounds and the rights attached to each share class.
Model and analyse
Our platform runs Black-Scholes-Merton and EMI valuation models consistently, alongside market, income and asset-based approaches where they apply.
Review and report
A qualified adviser reviews every output. You receive a written report with the assumptions set out, and we support the HMRC process where needed.
