Valuation

Every important business decision must be analysed with respect to its value contribution. PwC has a team of valuation specialists who deal exclusively with value issues and can assist you in all value-related matters. Our team of approximately 20 advisors has the in-depth methodological and industry know-how to analyse each particular valuation situation comprehensively. Their experience is based on hundreds of valuation projects. The multidisciplinary PwC approach guarantees customised advisory services and integrated solutions.

The challenges you face

  • What is my company's stand-alone value? What would an investor be willing to pay?
  • How much is an acquisition target worth to me?
  • How can I enhance the value of my enterprise?
  • What are the value drivers?
  • What effect does capital structure have on the value of my company and what is the best type of financing for me?
  • Which of my strategic options and investment projects will produce the greatest enterprise value, given the associated risk?
  • What will my balance sheet look like after an acquisition (purchase price allocation and IFRS 3) and what effect will that have on future performance?
  • What is the value of intangible corporate assets such as brands, patents, etc.?
  • What effect do established employee share ownership plans have on profit and loss (IFRS 2)?
