    Valuation for financial reporting and tax purposes


    Property of Your company may have a big potential for growth and development, but it can also be a dead equity that is burdening the company with taxes, maintenance and liabilities it generates.

    The property, machinery and equipment valuation is usually prepared for financial reporting and tax purposes, or securing a mortgage loan. However, during the Company’s growth and development, it often happens that management does not pay enough attention to the appropriate use, profitability, long-term feasibility, etc. Did you ever wonder what would be the best way to utilise existing property and equipment:

    • is it more feasible to use the property, to sell it or lease it?
    • what are the possible alternative uses for the existing location?
    • in case of property transactions between related partners within a Group, you will need the real, market valuation for tax purposes and preparation of study on transfer prices
    • if you are considering to purchase a property today, did you analyse its short-term and long-term expenditure, and compare it with various benefits you expect?
    • would it be more beneficial for your business to record the property at the purchase price or fair value?
    • if you plan to register non-cash contribution of kind, what is the market value of this asset?
    • if you plan to transfer property from one legal entity to another, find out what are the overall effects of these changes
    • if you are interested in measuring profitability of your property, i .e. how much the engaged assets are contributing to your business , and what would be the alternative use and effects

    Intangible assets valuation (brand, patent, licence, trade mark, software, client database...)

    • you would like to know the value of your brand (trade mark)?
    • you are interested in how much each brand contributes to the value of Your Company, how can you increase its value, for how long it will be profitable and what are the key factors that influence its sustainability and profitability?
    • you have the registered patent and want to sell it, mortgage or lease it as a licence? you want to compare several options and choose the best possible solution?
    • you have internally developed software and you want to know its value? What would be the possible selling or rental price? Whether the purchase of new software will be more feasible?
    • you plan to purchase an existing database of clients and want to understand its market value?
    • you intend to register the intangible assets as a contribution of kind, that requires the market market valuation
