(Incorporating Litigation Support and Specialist Business Services)

There are a number of events in a business lifecycle that may require a formal valuation.

Typically these events are when a business is being acquired or disposed of. However there are many other occasions where a formal business valuation may be required to:

Obtain Finance; Succession planning;
Settle a dispute; Income and Capital gains Tax issues; and
Admit or remove a partner or shareholder;Matrimonial breakdown.

Forensic accounting is commonly the service provided when there is a claim for compensation or loss of profit or a fraudulent event and there is often a need for an expert witness to support claims and counter claims.

Why choose LBW Business Valuation and Forensic Accounting?

Regardless of the need for the valuation the key factor is that the valuation can be relied upon.
