Valuations
There are times when you need a business valuation. It may be caused by:
- Assessing the value of a business that you are looking to sell
- Completing a merger or an acquisition
- To put in place a buy/sell agreement between shareholders
- A family law property settlement or shareholder dispute
- A business restructure where value needs to be assessed for taxation purposes
- Succession planning
Whatever the reason, we can assist with the valuation of your business. Our corporate finance team specialise in the valuation of privately held businesses. Director in charge of valuations, Greg Hayes, is recognised as a specialist in SME valuations. Greg’s book ‘A Practical Guide to the Valuation of SMEs’ was published by CCH and released in late 2009. We value a lot of businesses and our practical approach to valuation work allows us to provide you with a reliable opinion on what any business is worth.

Strategic Planning
Have you got your business strategy right?
Too many businesses get caught up in the day to day requirements of the business and don’t take the time to put in place the ‘road map’ for the business. They are always busy but sometimes without clear direction. A successful business has energy and focus.
Did you know that the typical business hits hurdle points in its growth? These are points where there is a need for structural change in the management approach to the business and without that change business growth will slow. It is these hurdle points that often prevent a business from reaching its full potential. If growth is stalling for you, or you need to get more focus and direction for the future then we may be able to help.
Our strategic planning services will guide you through this and help you to map an effective pathway for your business.
