Contentious and non-contentious business valuations

Business Valuations | How we help

Valuations of a wide range of businesses

Our expertise covers the valuation of businesses for both contentious and non-contentious purposes.

We can provide business valuations for many purposes, including:

  • The purchase or sale of a business
  • The incorporation of a sole trader or a partnership
  • Probate and tax purposes such as Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains tax
  • Matrimonial purposes
  • Valuing the shares therein for a variety of purposes including gifts of shares, matrimonial purposes, selling and purchasing shares, purchase of own shares, employee share schemes, and shareholder disputes
  • Disputes between the owners of a business
  • Raising finance
  • Calculating loss in value as a result of claims being made including consequential loss claims, termination of agency and a wide variety of other claims
  • Valuing goodwill
  • Calculating the assets available in criminal proceedings

You were able to deal with a large volume of evidence by email and was able to deliver an excellently packaged schedule of special damages on time and on budget with all necessary appendices to show the documentation upon which the calculations were based.

The presentation of the calculations made the schedule easy to follow and the arguments relating to future loss of earnings and loss of future pension rights helped tremendously in the preparation of the client’s case for a planned Joint Settlement Meeting.

The eventual settlement was based largely on the schedule of loss that was presented; without the professionalism involved in the presentation of the losses we would not have been able to negotiate the very large settlement that we did”

In short, both mine and Counsel’s view are that this is an excellent report – very detailed and precise and explains the methodology step-wise in a way which is clear. There is nothing that either of us would seek to add or query at this stage.

Civil recovery case

Just a quick line to thank you for all your work for our trial last week. Not only did you produce comprehensive accounts, we feel you were infinitely more proactive than necessary. Sitting in on meetings with barristers, asking questions that we hadn’t considered.

Crime and fraud case

We used Sedulo Forensics to investigate losses that our clients have lost due to Fraud within their business. We have found their investigations to be in-depth, precise and accurate at calculating loss. You were knowledgeable, personable and understanding in what are often difficult situations for our clients. Sedulo Forensics have an excellent panel of expert witnesses with a lot of court experience. We would recommend their services to our clients again.

I just wanted to thank you for doing an excellent job in preparing your report, particularly given the tight time constraints.
