Business rating & valuation

Understand the value.

In a sale, succession or financing process, a view of value needs a clear basis. We organise the commercial information and clarify the purpose so an appropriate professional assessment can be prepared effectively.

01 / 03

The engagement / 01

Define the valuation question

An initial pricing indication differs from a formal valuation report. We clarify the decision, who needs the result and what requirements follow.

Purpose and audience

A sale, ownership change, financing and internal planning need different perspectives. The brief states the purpose explicitly.

Value and creditworthiness

Business value, achievable sale price and creditworthiness are different questions. Clear boundaries help prevent a result being used for the wrong purpose.

The engagement / 02

Understand the figures

Historical figures need context. We organise the commercial preparation and document which information is supported and where additional explanations are required.

Performance and unusual items

One-off costs, unusual income and changes in the business are identified. Any adjustments need an explanation that the evaluator can follow.

Prospects and dependencies

Customer concentration, investment needs, key people and intended development are recorded. Future assumptions remain distinguishable from evidenced historical information.

The engagement / 03

Make the result usable

A credible valuation process explains its limitations. We help communicate the underlying information and organise questions between the business and appointed professionals.

Commission an appropriate method

Market comparisons, earnings analysis or a formal valuation engagement follow the purpose. The appointed experts select the method and prepare professional reports.

Explain ranges

Important assumptions and their influence remain visible, allowing price or financing discussions to start from an understandable basis.

SCOPE /Define the scope together

Support that fits the work ahead.

Choose a starting point for discussion. Tasks, participants and fees are agreed individually.

POSSIBLE DISCUSSION POINTS

Operating business

Prepare a clear commercial foundation for valuation.

  • Earnings and normalised costs
  • Market comparison and dependencies
  • Information for the valuation assignment
Discuss this scope

A basis for discussion, not a binding service catalogue. Selection confirms neither availability nor professional authorisation. Any required legal, tax or specialist work is separately agreed and commissioned.

Q / AKnow where you stand.

Questions about our work.

01Does an assessed value automatically become the sale price?

No. An achievable price also depends on buyers, financing, contractual terms and negotiation. A valuation provides a basis, not a guarantee of a transaction.

02Does Jaba issue auditor valuation reports?

Jaba organises commercial preparation and project coordination. Formal reports and professionally reserved assessments must be commissioned separately from appropriately qualified practitioners.
