Valuations

An overview of our Valuation services.

Capital | Africa's professionals are uniquely qualified to determine the value of private companies, closely-held business interests, limited partnership interests, intellectual property and other intangible assets, and corporate securities with marketability concerns.

• Recapitalizations
• Royalty rate studies

Tax Planning – CA works directly with CPA's and tax attorneys to support various strategies:

• Family Limited Partnerships (FLP)
• Capital Gains Tax
• Valuation discount studies
• Restricted stock grants

Accounting Compliance – As an independent party, CA provides companies and their auditors with assistance in meeting new accounting rules.

Advisory Services – On many occasions where a formal valuation report is unnecessary or premature, CA can provide advice related to:

• Preliminary estimates of value

With its analytical sophistication and institutional independence, CA works with its clients to assess their value and position within the marketplace and advise them on how to realize maximum value.
