Evaluation of Companies

We evaluate companies for both our clients and other customers. In the process we take into account that the company value does not result from the addition of single values, e.g. the asset value of economic goods minus the debts, but from the overall evaluation of the future in- and out- payments of the company. Furthermore, human activities, production facilities and laws as well as possible synergy effects have to be considered.

Evalutations of companies may be induced by legal requirements or judicial reaudits, e.g. after the compensation of associates, but also the purchase or sale of companies as a whole, the retirement of associates, the formation of companies on the basis of non-cash contributions, the distribution of the inheritance and arbitrator’s awards or contracts. Methodically, our company evaluations are oriented towards the principles for the performance of company evaluations of the German Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (Institute of Auditors, IDW S1, among others the DCF method, gross rental method).
