      Business Valuations

      Business Valuation Services

      Business owners planning the sale of their company or dealing with significant transactions such as restructuring, share transfers or probate may require a clear understanding of what their business is worth.

      Kirk Rice’s Business Valuation Services provide clarity where important financial and strategic decisions depend on an accurate assessment.

      Business Valuation Services involve assessing financial track record, management structure, employees and future prospects, alongside wider economic and industry factors. There are several reasons a company may want to carry out a business valuation, including:

      • Buying and selling a business to a third party
      • Sale to an Employment Ownership Trust
      • Group restructuring
      • Making a gift of shares in a company or stake in a partnership
      • For the purposes of a probate
      • Share option schemes including Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI)

      Kirk Rice’s valuation specialists combine proven financial models with decades of hands-on experience, applying standard modelling along with professional judgement. Our approach may also support preparation for selling your business by considering factors that go beyond the valuation itself.

      If you would like to discuss your Business Valuation Services requirements, please contact info@kirkrice.co.uk

      Kirk Rice are experts in business valuations

      Our valuation technique combines some standard modelling along with our own judgment – based on decades of experience.

      Of course, a firm’s financial track record, its management structure, employees and its future prospects are all crucial to getting an accurate valuation. But there are peripheral things to consider too – like the economic environment, and the prospects of the particular industry a company operates in.

      Kirk Rice will help you prepare for selling your business

      And for any company that wants to sell up, there are considerations that go beyond the valuation itself.

      One of the big questions is how do you prepare for selling a company? Take selling a home, for example. You will want to make it look attractive to prospective buyers and may well want to fix anything that might stand in the way of a good price.

        I have been using Kirk Rice for over 20 years for my personal tax returns. The team provide me with a clear layout of items, so I fully understand how my tax bill is calculated, with all the relevant tax allowances included. If I have any queries on the figures (which is very rare), they are always keen to explain how the figures were calculated. I highly recommend Kirk Rice’s services …. Good to know I have fully verified records being sent to the HMRC.
