Success story

Context:

Company in the field of data analysis and processing in the area of molecular research. One of the partners exercised his right to exit the company. In view of the discrepancies between the partners regarding the value of the shares, an independent valuation of the Company was requested, taking into account its market position, its economic situation and the impact of the subsidies received, thus avoiding possible future tax contingencies for the partner and the Company.

How we helped:

  • We helped to determine the best strategy to follow in order to make the claim together with the Company’s lawyers.

Result:

  • Valuation and projection criteria were unified for all partners.
  • Recurrent EBITDA was normalized.
  • And an adjusted valuation was obtained.
