Valuations
Jamieson is a professional business valuation expert of many types of businesses (refer to table below of a representative selection of business valuations completed) for purposes including:
- Business sales decisions
- Management buy-outs and buy-ins
- Business acquisition pricing and decisions
- Balance sheet reviews
- Bank loans
- Equity fund raising
Predominantly our valuation services involve market-based estimates of expected selling price for business sale decisions (contact us). Our formal valuation services are usually restricted to specific industries where we have often acted as business brokers in actual sales, such as insurance brokers, customs brokers and freight forwarders.
Our market-based business value estimate generally has an advantage over a business valuation by accounting firms because we are able to reference specific business sales of comparable businesses, from our activities as business brokers.
A Jamieson business valuation involves a comprehensive study not only of the financial results of the business but also of its market potential, competition, the effect of changes in technology and structure of the industry and management quality. These matters go to the future potential of the business and include the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats faced by the business.
Over fifteen years we have developed valuable intellectual property of our own in valuation methods relating to the gross profit of businesses, and fee income of service businesses, and appropriate multipliers evidenced by actual business sales results. This approach to business valuation often provides additional confidence in traditional P/E methods for the pricing of businesses, especially in many service industries.
