Independent Valuation

It’s standard practice to have a valuation report or some kind of understanding of a business's value made at some stage of a transaction. This valuation usually comes to light through various sources, sometimes from the Brokers; usually incentivised to find ways to make those numbers look a little better (for many reasons; justified from their angle of the transaction of course).

In other circumstances the Sell side of a small business might obtain their valuations from an automated calculator, the trouble with this approach is that the buying side will need to still find out the actual figures and in most cases will disregard the automated valuations; and rightly so as there is 99.9% of the automated valuation tools will have a legal disclaimer that will state the valuation not to be taken as an absolute accurate figure and will depend entirely on the figures entered into the calculator which they will not have an verifications or guarantees they are true/accurate figures.
