NOW YOU KNOW WHO TO RELY ON FOR TRANSACTION SUPPORT
Leadenhall is a specialist business valuation consultancy. We are highly experienced professionals with significant experience supporting clients with valuation related matters throughout the transaction process.TRANSACTION SUPPORT SERVICES
Decision support
When a potential transaction arises, the board or management may not have the time or expertise to evaluate the transaction. We can provide independent valuation advice to assist the board and management to evaluate the pricing of a proposed transaction either as the buyer or seller.
Assisting known parties agree a fair price
We can act as an independent valuation expert to help know parties achieve a fair transaction outcome. We often perform this role where the transaction is subject to a contractual agreement such as a put/call option or a shareholder’s agreement. Parties can jointly appoint Leadenhall as an expert or we can act as an advisor for a party to help them achieve an optimal outcome.
Identifying key value drivers
We can help sellers identify the key value drivers of their business to assist them in clearly conveying the benefits of the business during the negotiation process.
Understanding tax implications
The post-acquisition allocation of value can have material tax implications (e.g. stamp duty and tax deductibility of intangible assets). We can help you understand the post-acquisition tax implications and if and how you should take these into account when pricing a transaction.
Independent expert reports
We have experience preparing IER’s for all transaction types (including schemes of arrangement, related party transactions, on market and off market takeover offers) across business operating in a broad range of industries. We hold the appropriate financial services licence and have an excellent track record of minimal comments during the regulatory review process.
Client and auditor assistance
We provide valuation advice to corporate clients to assist with financial reporting and audit compliance and to auditors who require independent technical expertise.
