BUSINESS VALUATION

The need to evaluate a company or a business is often imperative, because it is associated with contexts of change and decision making of great impact, such as the purchase/sale of companies (or participation), mergers, entry of new partners, inheritances, capital increase/reduction and cessation of activity, among others. In addition, the valuation of a company can also be carried out periodically in order to monitor the evolution of its real value.

Because from the analysis of the information obtained in the processes of evaluation of companies derive decisions, and subsequent actions, of great importance, the quality of the evaluation is decisive. Reliable information is an extraordinary asset, while a poorly performed valuation can jeopardize the business – a common example of of adverse consequences are unsuccessful acquisitions due to incorrect valuations of goodwill or fair value of liabilities and assets of the acquired companies.
