Valuation

Value is a relative concept - until the moment that you need to prove the value of your company on paper. You may need to do so because you want to convince a new investor, for example, or to reinforce the shareholders’ confidence during the annual general meeting. Maybe you want to acquire a company or transfer your company to your heirs, etc. Or you might want to calculate how much your company could increase its value. Because that’s the objective at the end of the day, isn’t it?

So, there are more than enough reasons to have the objective worth of your company calculated or to implement value-based management. Anyone who knows his or her company’s market value will not let himself or herself be trapped - and knows when there is room for improvement... and how!

Determining such value is exactly what our Corporate Finance Department experts are all about. That’s how we’ve already managed to assist hundreds of companies in recent years, companies of incredibly diverse sectoral backgrounds, both large and small. It’s in basing ourselves on generally accepted methods and by using (inter)national databases, that we can accomplish this.
