Business Valuation Services

Whether you’re preparing for a business sale, succession planning, raising capital, or just want to understand what your business is worth, a professional company valuation is a critical first step. 

At Knowles Warwick, we offer comprehensive business valuation services tailored to your needs, helping business owners across Sheffield and South Yorkshire make informed decisions with confidence. 

Why You Might Need a Company Valuation

There are many reasons why business owners seek a professional valuation. Common scenarios include:

• Selling Your Business: A well-supported valuation ensures you maximise your sale price and negotiate from a position of strength.
• Raising Investment: Investors want to know the true worth of your company before committing capital. A valuation can help support your funding round.
• Business Mergers or Acquisitions: Whether buying or selling, knowing the value of the businesses involved ensures a fair and transparent deal.
• Succession Planning & Exit Strategy: Preparing for retirement or passing your business on to the next generation? A valuation is essential for tax and inheritance planning.
• Shareholder Disputes or Agreements: Accurate valuation supports fairness in share transfers, buy-outs, or dispute resolution.
• Divorce Settlements or Legal Proceedings: When a business forms part of a personal asset portfolio, a valuation helps courts and legal representatives divide assets equitably.
• Tax Planning & Compliance: Business valuations support capital gains tax, inheritance tax, and other HMRC-related matters.
• Strategic Planning: Even without an immediate transaction, knowing your company’s value helps guide long-term business decisions.
