In recent years Hardman & Co has established a strong reputation in the field of private company valuations. Typical reasons for requiring these include:

• Establishing a value for tax and purposes
• Establishing a start point for an Authorised Option Scheme
• Establishing an exit value for an Authorised Option Scheme
• Fixing a value for internal share transfers between staff and directors
• Arriving at a Fair Value for Takeover or Merger

A Professional Valuation is far cheaper for a private company than obtaining a listing on one of the Junior Stock Markets. It is also far less intrusive, because it does not result in the release of commercially sensitive information to competitors.

Hardman & Co is very happy to undertake the whole internal share transfer process for private companies with a wide shareholder base. This is not only economic, it removes a huge area of risk from the company and its directors. Please phone or email for a confidential briefing.
