Business Valuations

Business valuation is as much an art as it is science.

Formal business valuations have their place and are undertaken for a variety of reasons including statutory purposes.  By their very nature they rely on numerous assumptions and do not always align with market values achievable from a professional sale process. 

The range of likely outcomes achievable from a professional sale process will vary depending upon a multitude of factors including: the nature and type of purchaser (financial investor, synergistic industry buyer, management buy-in, etc), the availability of debt and equity capital to the purchaser at the time of sale, the underlying reasons for the sale/purchase, the level of competitive tension at the time of sale, and numerous other factors.

Determining the true value of any business requires considerable market knowledge and experience in order to properly evaluate the various components and assess the correct value range. 

Johnsons Corporate does not provide formal valuation services. We do however offer business appraisals that give a clear indication of the range of likely outcomes achievable from a professional sale process. Our business appraisals draw on five decades of experience of buying and selling businesses.
