Valuation Services

Business valuation services determine the financial worth of a company or its shares.

A valuation can be required for many reasons:

selling a business,
bringing in investors,
resolving shareholder disputes,
tax purposes,
or legal matters such as probate or divorce settlements.

Valuing a business is not just about looking at the balance sheet. It requires a detailed financial performance analysis and an analysis of industry trends, economic conditions, and the specific circumstances underpinning the valuation.

The percentage of ownership and the class of shares to be valued also matter.

Minority shares often have different values from controlling stakes, and shareholdings with fewer rights than other share classes often have different values.

At Sabios, we use proven valuation methods alongside real-world business insights to provide accurate, reliable valuations under scrutiny.

Whether you need a valuation for strategic planning, compliance, or a transaction, we deliver clear, well-supported reports tailored to your needs.
