We have extensive experience of professional share valuation including:-

Litigation

Expert witness support for share valuation in corporate disputes and personal/matrimonial matters where private company share valuations are in issue.  We have acted for particular parties in divorce proceedings as well as acting as independent third party valuers as part of the divorce process.

Taxation

Professional share valuation for all fiscal purposes including employee share schemes, capital gains tax and inheritance tax.  The accuracy of valuations for these purposes is particularly important as HM Revenue and Customs can impose penalties where a different valuation is subsequently agreed.

Corporate Finance/Accountancy

Independent and pragmatic assistance with share and option valuation, with back up for the latest financial accounting requirements, with extensive practical experience of private company sales.  The financial reporting standards often require independent valuations to be obtained.  For example FRS7 which deals with fair value in acquisition accounting.
