Independent Valuation Support for Related-Party Transactions
The Valuation Group provides valuation and economic analysis for related-party transactions involving affiliated companies, commonly controlled entities, inter-company transfers, asset sales, service charges, royalties, financing arrangements, business restructurings, and other transactions between related parties.
Our work supports companies, CPAs, tax advisors, attorneys, CFOs, investors, and advisory teams that need documented valuation support for transactions where the parties are related, affiliated, or under common control.
Why The Valuation Group
Related-party transactions require careful analysis because the pricing may not result from ordinary third-party negotiation. The valuation must address the transaction terms, the parties involved, the assets or services transferred, the economic benefit received, market evidence, financial performance, risk, and the commercial reasonableness of the arrangement.
Our analysis helps professional teams evaluate whether the related-party transaction is supported by financial evidence, market data, valuation assumptions, and the economic substance of the arrangement.
We provide valuation support for transfers of business assets, intangible assets, ownership interests, equipment, intellectual property, customer relationships, contracts, and other assets between related parties.
Our analysis may address the rights transferred, expected economic benefit, useful life, risk, market evidence, and assumptions supporting the value conclusion.
