Business Valuations
Business valuations are widely described as being an art rather than a science, since different valuation models are available which yield different results. Selecting the most appropriate model requires highly technical skills and experience to arrive at the appropriate economic value of an owner’s interest in the various scenarios which also include the geographical location and economic environment in which the business operates. The need for business valuations arises in a variety of circumstances, mainly during business acquisitions and mergers, sale of a going concern business and litigation.
Business Plans
Planning is one of the pillars of each business function and an important key to success. Business plans are important tools in the decision-making process involving the formation of goals and successively the formulation of a plan which would help in achieving the predetermined goals.
Business plans apply both to for-profit and not-for–profit organisations and can be either internally or externally focused. Business plans as decision making tools can be applied in the following processes, amongst others:
Total Quality Management (TQM);
Management by objective;
Strategic planning.
Preparing a business plan requires a breadth of expertise from different business disciplines. The firm is well positioned to service clients requiring experience of professionals from various sectors and disciplines.
