Business Valuations - R&T Turnaround & Recovery

What are the main ways we value your business?

Willing Buyer Willing Seller

Willing Buyer Willing Seller basis is the estimated amount for which an asset (your business) should be exchanged on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction. This is following a proper marketing period where the parties each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

Forced Sale

Forced sale valuation, also sometimes referred to as distressed sale value or liquidation value, estimates the price an asset would likely fetch if sold quickly and under unfavourable conditions. This could involve the selling of the whole of your business or breaking it up and selling assets individually.

Let’s Talk

Willing Buyer

The buyer is knowledgeable about the asset, has the financial resources to purchase it, and is acting under no pressure to buy. They are actively looking for a similar asset and would be willing to pay a fair price based on market conditions.

Willing Seller

The seller is motivated to sell but not under any compulsion to do so quickly or cheaply. They have a reasonable understanding of the asset’s value and are open to negotiating a fair price.

Arms Length Transaction

There’s no forced buying or selling, no special relationships between buyer and seller that might influence the price, and both parties have access to all relevant information about the asset.

Fair Market Value

The resulting price reflects what a typical buyer would be willing to pay and a typical seller would be willing to accept in the current market conditions.

More than 95% of businesses never sell. If you are thinking about selling then there are steps you need to take 3-5 years potentially before you go to market. Get in touch to find out more.

Sell My Business

Yes – HMRC can absolutely chase a dissolved company. They have six years from the date of dissolution and twenty years if they believe and fraud or negligence has taken place.

Yes, you can. However, should your conduct as a director be called into question for the company you were a director of, you could be banned at a later stage.

No it will not. Being the director of a limited company limits the liability to the company. That is providing you have acted as any reasonable person would whilst running the business and not signed up to any personal guarantees or have an overdrawn directors loan account.

Please contact us at your earliest convenience. We can provide guidance on the Company’s ability to repay these amounts over time and assist in negotiating a suitable time-to-pay arrangement with HMRC on your behalf. Acting promptly increases the likelihood of HMRC providing assistance.

Fees vary depending on the level of work that needs to be undertaken and the level of specialism that needs to be given.
