One of the more common requests we receive to complete a business valuation pertains to divorce cases. Whether it is for cooperative mediation or a more complex dispute involving litigation, independent appraisal work is often required when one or more of the parties owns a company that is deemed part of the shared property. Any type of dispute, whether personal or professional, can be difficult to settle when differing opinions are held by each side.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

A question that comes up fairly often in our workshops: “What is a good valuation for my startup?”. It may seem simplistic, but the question recognises that the process of valuation has some inherent flexibility. On one hand, you’ll face some expectations from investors about fitting in a certain range based on your stage and industry. On the other hand, the valuation is ultimately a subjective reflection of your own ambition for the company.

Corporate law – and judicial application of that law – considers two facets of a transaction: (1) whether a corporation’s management used processes that are fair to stockholders to reach its decision (“process”), and (2) whether the economic results of that decision were substantively fair to stockholders (“substance”).
