Valuation of a family business

Mr and Mrs J were in divorce proceedings. The husband owned a majority shareholding in a restaurant business. He was director of the company, but did not take part in its daily running.

We were appointed to advise Mrs J of how much the business was worth, and to identify any surplus assets that could be included in the financial negotiations.

We prepared a report and Mr J eventually agreed a much higher valuation that he had originally proposed.

In another case, we agreed broadly with a valuation given by our client’s spouse, and although this was not good news, it meant that no more time was wasted trying to prove the impossible.
