valuations

Valuation is a significant consideration for any corporation or organization, whether it be a matter relating to a business transaction, takeover, investment, a brand or a bonus plan of impairment of intangibles, transfer pricing or tax assessment.

The statistics resulting from valuation neither tell the whole story nor are they always determinative to the board or authorities’ decision. Without proper expert analysis and understanding of the facts behind the statistics, a valuation is of little assistance.
