Whether it is for a planned company sale, a succession plan, a merger or because of disputes between shareholders, a well-founded company valuation forms the basis for economically and strategically sensible decision-making. An inaccurate valuation can lead to miscalculations and financial disadvantages, especially if intangible assets or aspects of tax are not adequately taken into account. 

Common challenges for companies include: 

  • Calculating a robust, market-oriented company value 
  • Valuing intangible assets like patents, brands and customer relationships 
  • Purchase price allocation for the purpose of tax optimization and accounting 
  • Company valuation within the framework of succession plans or disputes 
  • Compliance with recognized valuation standards (e.g. IDW S 1, IDW S 5)
