Valuation Company of the Year 2019 - London In our increasingly competitive world, attaining success depends on a deliberate recognition and measurement of the external and internal risk-value factors in the mid-long term. Although the financial crisis was partly driven by inaccurate risk assessment in valuation practices, the established valuation industry still conducts basic analytic approaches limited to the regulatory guidelines. As a consequence, the complexity of today’s markets is not reflected thus depriving decision-makers of key information. BVint approach identifies and assesses all internal and external business drivers and considers all possible scenarios using advanced probabilistic and uncertainty analysis. BVint’s advanced valuation models reflect the true volatility of all business and market phenomena, asset values as well as the likelihood of different outputs. As a result, BVint can effectively support our clients in complex business decisions. Today, institutional investors tend to select project / companies that previously worked on an independent valuation and are able to rationally measure the risks involved in the long term. BVint advanced valuation provides clients with the necessary tools to formulate a communication approach that shows investors their strategy is world-class. An advance valuation is necessary: • To identify and understand the value drivers of a business in the long term; • To measure the impact of the risks affecting the value of the company; • Analyse the value of the company in the light of a probabilistic distribution, which includes all possible scenarios that its drivers may generate; • To have the information to elaborate a strategic value creation plan aimed at mitigating risks and capturing opportunities. Independency is another pillar BVint holds. Today, companies, investors, Private Equities need an independent valuation before negotiating or taking an investment decision. Accounting firms offering valuations cannot be fully independent, as conflicts of interest arise from longstanding relationships between them and clients. With valuation not being a core competency as it is at BVint, accountancy firms cannot offer the same level of expertise and knowledge. Nor can M&A advisory firms, who may also be biased depending on the level of interest in buying or selling a firm.
