Business and intangible asset valuation
What’s included
Every valuation answers a specific question. We start by understanding what you need it for.
-
Business valuation
We estimate the value of a company or a business line based on its financial information and outlook.
-
Intangible asset valuation
We value brands, technology, customer relationships and other intangibles, which are often the most valuable part of a business.
-
Tax support
When the valuation has tax consequences, such as a transfer between related parties, we prepare it so it also stands as support before the SAT.
-
A report we walk you through
We deliver a report with the method, assumptions and conclusion, and explain it so you can use it at the negotiating table.

Frequently asked questions
How is a company valued?
There are three general approaches: the income the business is expected to generate, comparison with similar transactions or companies in the market, and the value of its assets. Usually more than one is used and the results are compared.
What is an intangible asset?
It is an asset with no physical form that creates value: a brand, a patent, software, a customer base or know-how. Valuing them is key when they are sold, licensed or transferred between group companies.
Will the valuation hold up with the SAT?
If it is prepared for that purpose, it can serve as support, for example when an intangible is transferred between related parties. That is why we ask from the start what you need it for.
