SPECIALIST VALUATIONS WITH INDUSTRY AND TAX EXPERTISE

When valuing a business, we go beyond the surface. We look at your business within the context of its industry - assessing performance, competitors, and the key drivers that shape value. Every corporate valuation we deliver is supported by clear reasoning. We’ll walk you through our approach, the assumptions made, and the figures that bring the valuation of the company to life. 

Business valuations for tax purposes can be particularly complex. They call for deep technical understanding, up-to-date tax knowledge, and awareness of HMRC practice and case law. Whether it’s Capital Gains disposals, inheritance tax planning, or share option schemes, our specialists handle every detail with care.

CORPORATE VALUATIONS FOR COMPLIANCE AND SHARE STRUCTURES

Our company valuation service provides clear, robust support for regulatory and accounting requirements, including Financial Reporting Standards, purchase price allocations, impairment reviews, and the valuation of financial instruments like share options. We ensure every assessment is accurate, transparent, and defensible, giving you confidence in complex financial matters. 

Share valuations are also used for a variety of purposes beyond tax planning, including compliance with shareholders’ agreements, Articles of Association, divorce proceedings, or insolvency situations. A carefully conducted business valuation can further support employee share option schemes, motivating key staff while protecting equity value and reflecting real improvements in company performance. 

 

"We were supported by the AAB team through a highly complex transaction. Their technical expertise and commercial focus were key in guiding us to a successful outcome. Their deep understanding of the deal was invaluable, and we look forward to collaborating with them on future projects."
