A practical starting point
- Plant register and replacement expenditure
- Order book and major customer exposure
- Lease obligations and key technical staff
These are prompts for the example below. The information needed for your business will be agreed individually.
A manufacturer: understanding investment behind the earnings
For a manufacturing business, reported profit needs to be read alongside machinery condition, capacity and the investment required to sustain production. An ageing asset base may change the cash flows a purchaser can expect.
Prepare a plant register and distinguish maintenance spending from expansion projects. Show order-book visibility, major customer exposure and the treatment of leased assets. Explain which specialist roles would need to be retained.
Make the brief
specific to you.
Tell us whether you need a whole-business or shareholding valuation, who will use it and the date it should relate to. Explain any proposed transaction and the documents currently available.
A valuation range is sensitive to the evidence and assumptions. We agree the fee and intended deliverable before starting; no value or transaction outcome is promised.
