For business owners

Business Valuation Consultation

Put a defensible number on what you have built

A planning-level valuation you can carry into a buy-sell, a succession conversation or an insurance application — delivered as a written assessment, not a verbal estimate.

    Before we meet

    We collect the financials and the ownership picture, which together determine both the number and how defensible it is.

    • The methods applied, and why each fits your business
    • Where the number is sensitive, and to what
    • What the figure means for buy-sell funding and key-person cover

    In the meeting

    We work through the valuation with you rather than handing you a figure, so you can defend the assumptions later.

    • The valuation and the assumptions behind it, in writing
    • Insurance sizing derived from the number, not guessed at
    • A review of any buy-sell agreement already in place

    What you leave with

    A written assessment with the reasoning visible, sized so it can be used in the conversations it was built for.
