Financial valuation has become a major challenge in decision making and firm communication. The job may focus on the company itself or an holding. The valuation may also concern the whole activity, some business segments or particular assets as well as financial products (options, warrant, bonds etc.…).

Despite a globalization of financial valuation practice, it remains a sensible topic requiring professional and specific expertise.

We implement our expertise in many circumstances such as:

Fair value assessment

• Independent expertise in the legal framework provided by the financial market regulation (tenders, stock/bond issue, bond withdrawal, …)
• Merger and acquisition
• Specific certifications (privatization, employee savings, …)

Legal & ruled valuation

• Accounting assessment
• Purchase Price Allocation
• Impairment tests
• Taxes and social valuation (internal transactions, option and capital access products pricing…)
• Patrimonial (Net asset value)
• Intangible assets (goodwill, brands, patents, …)
• Capital instruments (options, long term transactions, …).
