Key values + audits = forecasting quality

Company Evaluations


Our approach

“What is my company worth?” This question is not only relevant prior to the planned sale of a company, and is also a key factor in decisions on entrepreneurial activity. Practical, effective entrepreneurial activity increases the value of a business – not necessarily in the short-term, but definitely in the long-term. The tools used to measure the changes brought about and the timeline involved play a crucial role, with company evaluation methods essentially facilitating the visualization of the increases in value achieved. Simply leafing through a company’s annual financial statements is only helpful to a certain extent, and in particular as it is future yield and expected cash flow that are decisive to the value of a company.

In addition to pending changes in ownership or the assessment of the impact of entrepreneurial decisions, there are an increasing number of grounds for the assessment of businesses or parts of businesses. Examples include the mandatory assessment of shares in local financial statements and the determination of “fair values” within the framework of assessment according to international accounting standards.
