A structured process combining financial analysis, professional judgement, and regulatory awareness to determine fair market value.
In the UK, fair market value represents the price at which shares would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, acting knowledgeably and without compulsion. This standard underpins valuations prepared for HMRC, particularly for EMI share valuations, share reorganisations, and minority shareholdings.
A compliant SME valuation report clearly states the purpose, valuation date, methodologies applied, and key assumptions. For UK businesses, well-prepared documentation provides regulatory protection and a reliable basis for informed decision-making.
Selecting an appropriate earnings multiple requires careful judgement. Key factors that influence value include:
Alternative approaches including discounted cash flow (DCF) or asset-based valuations may supplement the primary analysis where appropriate.
We step in at critical moments
Most UK SME valuations apply a multiple to normalised maintainable earnings such as EBITDA, reflecting sustainable cash flow generation.
Owner-managed companies require adjustment for non-recurring costs and discretionary expenses to reflect arm's length profitability.
Complex capital structures require equity allocation using scenario-based or waterfall models, with appropriate minority discounts.
Every report includes full methodology, assumptions, and supporting data.
