Buying or Selling a Business
Internal analysis to help owners understand an indicated business value during planning or negotiations.
BUSINESS VALUATION
Internal business valuations for planning and owner decisions.
Valuation analysis for internal, non-litigation purposes such as shareholder planning, buy-ins, buy-outs and business transactions.
HOW WE CAN HELP
A valuation should match the purpose for which it is being prepared.
Murtajil provides valuation work for internal planning and non-litigation purposes. The approach, information required and level of detail depend on the business and intended use of the valuation.
Before work begins, we confirm the intended purpose and scope so the analysis is not used for a purpose for which it was not prepared.
Internal and non-litigation use only
Murtajil business valuations are prepared only for internal, planning and non-litigation purposes. They are not litigation valuations, expert reports or assurance engagements.
