Milton Keynes Accountants — Business Valuations Service
What's Your Buisness Worth? Business Valuations When It Matters Most
When a valuation is required, accuracy and reasoning matter. We provide evidence-based business valuations that properly reflect both tangible assets and goodwill — giving you confidence when making important financial, legal, or tax decisions.
Independent Valuation Support
Business Valuations Are Needed At Critical Moments
Whether driven by a transaction, dispute, or tax requirement, a business valuation must be prepared carefully, using appropriate methodology and professional judgement.
Why Informal Or Online Valuations Fall Short
Business valuations are often relied upon in high-stakes situations. Shortcuts or generic valuation tools rarely reflect the true position — particularly where goodwill is involved.
- Over-Simplified Calculations: Online tools ignore commercial realities.
- Goodwill Misjudged: Intangible value often poorly assessed or overstated.
- Unclear Assumptions: No explanation of how figures were derived.
- Tax Exposure: Valuations that can’t be defended if challenged by HMRC.
- Dispute Risk: Weak valuations increase the risk of disagreement or challenge.
Valuations need reasoning — not guesswork.
What A Proper Valuation Gives You
A professionally prepared valuation provides clarity, credibility, and confidence — particularly where third parties are involved.
- Independent Assessment: Objective valuation based on evidence.
- Goodwill Properly Considered: Reflecting commercial reality, not formulae.
- Clear Methodology: Transparent assumptions and calculations.
- Defensible Position: Suitable for HMRC, legal, or commercial scrutiny.
- Informed Decisions: Confidence when negotiating, planning, or resolving disputes.
A strong valuation supports better outcomes.
Common Scenarios
Business Valuations For A Wide Range Of Situations
We provide valuations for small and owner-managed businesses in various situations.
- Selling or merging a business
- Divorce or matrimonial settlements
- Admission or exit of shareholders or partners
- Probate and estate matters
- Minority shareholdings
- Retirement or resignation of partners or shareholders
- Insurance and compensation claims
- Tax planning and HMRC reporting
Each valuation is tailored to its purpose.
Understanding And Valuing Business Goodwill
The blance sheets is a starting point for valuations, But goodwill is often the largest and most complex element of a valuation and rarely appears clearly in the accounts.
Factors to consider include:
- Historic and projected financial performance
- Brand and market reputation
- Dependence on the owner
- Quality of systems and processes
- Customer relationships and repeat income
- Management and staff stability
- Supplier relationships
Goodwill requires judgement — not shortcuts.
Tax Valuations Prepared With HMRC Scrutiny In Mind
Where a valuation is required for tax purposes, it must be capable of being supported if questioned.
Our tax valuations are:
- Prepared using recognised valuation approaches
- Based on legislation, HMRC guidance, and case law
- Fully reasoned and documented
- Suitable for submission to HMRC
Robust valuations reduce uncertainty and risk.
Serious Credentials, Serious Guarantees,
Zero Risk to You!
ICAEW Regulated
Why ICAEW Regulation Matters
Here’s The Uncomfortable Truth:
In the UK, anyone can wake up tomorrow, print a business card, and call themselves an “accountant.”
- No guaranteed training
- No guaranteed regulation
- No guaranteed insurance
- No built-in consequences
We’re Different.
We’re Chartered Accountants — regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW), one of the most respected professional bodies in the world.
Why Does That Matter To You?
Because when it comes to your tax, your business, and your financial future, the person you choose is the difference between peace of mind and potential disaster.
Here’s What This Means To You
- Recognised by Mortgage Lenders. Many lenders require references from qualified accountants. Our credentials tick that box.
- Dealing with HMRC is easier when your accountant is properly qualified, regulated, and supervised — exactly what ICAEW membership guarantees.
- Mandatory Professional Indemnity Insurance. If something ever goes wrong, you’re protected. Full stop.
- Rigorous, Top-Tier Qualifications. We’ve completed years of training, exams, and practical experience before earning the letters after our name.
- Independent Quality Checks. We are subject to ICAEW practice reviews and regulatory oversight.
- Right of Complaint. If you ever have an issue (rare, but possible), you have access to an independent process through the ICAEW — not just “take our word for it.”
- Independent AML Regulation. The ICAEW, not HMRC, oversees our money-laundering compliance—an independent professional body.
Bottom Line
When you choose a Chartered Accountant, you’re choosing someone who is regulated, insured, qualified, independently monitored, and held to the highest ethical standards in the profession.
Why gamble your business on someone who isn’t?
