Company valuation
Competence. objectivity. Trust.
A company valuation requires far more than just figures:
It combines analysis, market understanding and objective methodology. We guide you through the entire valuation process in a structured manner - from the evaluation of historical company data to the analysis of future planning and the derivation of a well-founded, comprehensible company value.
Services
Our valuation services focus on well-founded, comprehensible value analyses that are prepared objectively and methodically:
- Company valuations in accordance with IDW S 1
- Tax valuations (inheritance, gifts, conversions, contributions/withdrawals)
- Company law valuations (severance payments, entry/exit of shareholders)
- Impairment tests (HGB/IFRS) for goodwill and investments
- Fairness opinions
- Planning and plausibility checks
Reasons for valuation
