If you are a sole or partial owner of a business entity, if you are thinking of buying a new business or in the midst of a difficult divorce, the value of your business is important.
There are many circumstances requiring a business valuation, including:
Ownership Transfers, Including BBBEE Transactions
Succession Planning
Corporate Financial Planning
Merger / Sale / Acquisition of a Business
Estate Planning
Buy & Sell Agreements
Establishment of Employee Share Schemes
Before any major investment decision, a prudent entrepreneur evaluates risks against opportunities. In an acquisition, management will need to perform the necessary due diligence to determine that the information about the company to be acquired is credible, accurate, and properly disclosed.
MoneyPenny can be particularly effective in this area, as our directors have a depth of experience enabling them to use their expertise in various functional areas. During this process, we work with our clients to determine that all critical issues have been identified and that key assumptions used in the investment proposal are accurate.
Clients often require a forecast or projection, for starting a new business, expanding existing operations or just following a consistent strategic plan.
A forecast presents a prospective financial statement, based on assumptions that are believed to be the most likely to occur. A projection is often based on a “what-if” scenario, but is not necessarily indicative of what is most likely to occur.
Every successful business requires that its income, cash and assets are protected, and directors are charged with this responsibility. Such protection is provided by a sound system of internal controls, which are fully understood by directors and employees, and are adequately documented, implemented and supervised.
Smaller companies often have the challenge of implementing watertight internal controls due to a lack of support and administrative staff. The savings effected by this situation can be costly in the long run, and we can advise on which areas are critical for effective control.
Our experience of numerous businesses can be employed to devise the best structure for you – whether your business is an inbound foreign investment, a successful and growing business or a start-up initiative.
Our advice will consider income tax of the company and those behind it, dividends tax, capital gains tax, estate planning, individual family circumstances, compliance with legislation, protection against creditors, diversification of risk and cost and ease of administration.
A strategic business plan is much more than a tool to obtain financing. Once the entrepreneur has a clear vision of where the business is seen at a point in the future, preparing a strategic plan helps you to clarify your company’s direction, ensures your key leaders are all “on the same page”, and keeps both management and staff focused on the tasks at hand.
The perspective gained through your strategic business plan can make a significant contribution to your company’s success, and help you get the funding you require. Most lending institutions and private investors will not consider your proposal without a credible financial plan.
Let Money Penny help you develop a powerful strategic business plan that drives your business to the level of success you can achieve.
