Business Valuation and Financial Consulting
As part of my financial valuation services I provide independent analysis, utilizing accepted valuation methodologies to produce well reasoned, supportable valuations and financial consulting services. Good and proper financial valuation is both science and art.
The Science
A sound valuation should be based on systematic approaches to fact gathering and research. Accepted valuation methodology should be applied to the facts to develop a defensible analysis. A well documented valuation report should include information about the company and the subject business interest, the company's financial condition and earning capacity, and the industry and market conditions in which it operates. The Art Experience and insight, in addition to an in-depth understanding of valuation methodology, are necessary to reach the correct result. Recognizing and properly weighing the underlying components of value, taking into account all the issues at hand, are important elements of the art of valuation. |
My Valuation Services
My professional experience includes investments, corporate finance, management consulting, accounting, and investment banking. I have presented at various venues and have published numerous articles on valuation. I provide services in connection with (please see product pages for details of each):
My aim is to help firms unlock and realise their inherent value by understanding and constructing a firms business model, constructing a detailed financial and operational model for scenario and what-if analysis, and finally conducting one or more valuations for the business allowing the shareholders to make informed, intelligent decisions. |
My thinking and Writing on Valuation
Please have a look at my valuation blog for some ideas I share about valuing intellectual property and much more. You might be wondering why I have a value investing blog as well as a valuation blog.
The value investing blog if focused on sharing and demonstrating valuation ideas and techniques related to selecting common equities listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. I plan to formulate these ideas into a Value Investing book aimed specifically at the South African stock market (i.e. the JSE). I also use these same ideas when teaching value investing.
The valuation ideas blog is focused on specific topics related to business valuation, for instance, how to approach Intellectual Property valuation or what to consider when conducting a due diligence, etc. This is not something a typical value investor will be tasked with (or interested in) and relates more to business valuation for purposes of M&A transactions, share schemes, etc.
