A professional valuation is essential to understanding the true value of an asset, whether it’s a business, real estate, equipment, or special assets. It provides:

• Accurate and relevant information: Helping you make informed decisions regarding transactions, tax reporting, or collateral financing.
• Transparency: Inspiring trust among investors, creditors, and other stakeholders by ensuring clarity in decision-making processes.
• Compliance: Meeting legal and tax regulations.
• Strategic planning: Helping you identify opportunities for growth or optimizing resources effectively.

The valuation process involves several key steps to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the report:

• Data collection: Gathering information about the asset, including necessary documentation, technical characteristics, financial details, and market conditions.
• Data analysis: Using appropriate methods to analyze comparable values, projected revenues, or replacement costs.
• Determining value: Establishing the asset’s value based on the data and analyses.
• Final report: Preparing a detailed, clear report in compliance with valuation standards.

Duration: The timeline depends on the complexity of the asset and the purpose of the valuation. Simple assets may take a few days, while complex assets may require several weeks.

The valuation methodology is chosen based on the type of asset and the purpose of the valuation. The primary methods include:

• Market approach: Comparing the assets to similar transactions in the market.
• Income approach (DCF): Analyzing future cash flows generated by the asset, discounted to present value.
• Cost approach: Estimating replacement or reproduction costs adjusted for depreciation.

These methods can be used individually or in combination to ensure comprehensive and accurate valuation.

The accuracy of our valuations is ensured by:

• Updated data: Using the most recent market information and official sources.
• Detailed analysis: Considering all relevant factors, such as market trends, legal regulations, and the unique characteristics of the asset.
• Compliance with standards:All valuations adhere to international (IVS) and local standards.

Valuations are valid at the time they are conducted, but values may fluctuate based on market conditions. Regular updates are recommended for significant transactions or changes in market dynamics.

The best time for a valuation depends on your objectives. Common situations include:

• Transactions: Buying, selling, or mergers to negotiate a fair price.
• Collateral financing: When assets are used to secure loans.
• Tax reporting: For taxation, capital contributions, or transfer pricing files.
• Strategic planning: Resource optimization, business expansion, or risk assessment.
• Legal disputes: Commercial litigation or asset division.

A professional valuation ensures that your decisions are well-founded and tailored to your needs.

The cost of a valuation varies depending on several factors specific to each project, including:

• Type of asset: Real estate, businesses, machinery, or special assets require different approaches and resources.
• Complexity of the valuation: Unique assets, incomplete documentation, or niche markets require more detailed analyses.
• Purpose of the valuation: Simple transactions may involve lower costs compared to valuations for tax reporting or litigation.
• Workload involved: The number of assets and required documentation may increase the time and effort required.
• Delivery timeline: Urgent requests may involve additional fees for prioritization.

Example:

• Valuing a residential property for collateral financing may have a lower cost due to its straightforward nature.
• Valuing a business with multiple assets, including buildings, equipment, and inventories, will incur higher costs due to the required time and methodology.

Benefit: Investing in a professionally conducted valuation provides a clear understanding of asset value, ensuring confidence for strategic decisions or equitable transactions.
