Which valuation is right for you?

Valuation types do vary and the right one for you depends on the purpose that the valuation is required to serve. Whilst this doesn't determine or alter the valuation amount, it does determine the scope of information required to be written into the report and the follow up support required.  

Types of valuations:

  • General pre-purchase / pre-sale / pre-tender
  • Retrospective

  • Due diligence when buying a business

  • New business pre-feasibility

  • Financing 

  • Insurance loss or repair

  • Refurbishment, modification or change of operational use   

  • Depreciation and taxation

  • Import/export duties

  • Insolvency and recovery
