What we believe
01
Pricing transparency
Every product has a published price. No discovery-call upsell, no scope-creep invoicing, no anchoring against a Big-4 retainer. You see the price before you book the call.
02
Named-signatory accountability
Every ValuCap valuation is signed by the Valuation Consultant personally. The named signatory is who HMRC, acquirers and litigators correspond with if the valuation is challenged.
03
IVSC compliance is non-negotiable
IVS 105 valuation approaches on every engagement. There is no Essential-tier IVSC-shortcut and no Comprehensive-tier IVSC-bonus; the methodology is the methodology.
04
Methodology disclosure by default
Every report includes the methodology weighting, comparable-company selection rationale, WACC build-up, discount-stack derivation and football-field reconciliation. We assume your accountant, acquirer, and HMRC will all read it.
Standards we follow
IVS 105
IVSC Valuation Approaches and Methods
Income, market and asset approaches reconciled in every report. The standard against which every defensible business valuation is measured globally.
