Valuation
We value businesses and shareholdings for the reasons they usually need valuing: raising investment, admitting or retiring a partner, a family settlement, a transaction under the Companies Act, or a tax position that requires one.
Method follows purpose. A profitable services business with predictable cash flows is a discounted cash flow candidate; an asset-heavy manufacturer often values better on net asset value; a comparable-company multiple is a cross-check, not an answer. We say which method we used and why, and what the number is sensitive to.
Financial due diligence
Whether you are buying, selling, or taking investment, due diligence is where assumptions meet records. We test revenue recognition, quality of earnings, working capital normalisation, related-party dealings, contingent liabilities, and the tax and GST exposures that transfer with the entity.
The output is a report that says plainly what we found, what we could not verify, and which items should change the price or the warranties.
Funding and restructuring
- Debt syndication — CMA data preparation, projections that a credit committee will accept, and lender coordination
- Budgeting and forecasting with variance reporting that gets used rather than filed
- Financial restructuring — capital structure, promoter funding, and stressed-account positions
- Business modelling for new lines, locations or capacity, with the break-even and downside cases stated
We will not build a projection we cannot defend in front of a lender. If the numbers you want to show require assumptions your history does not support, we will say so before the credit committee does.
