To find out the real Value of Companies (Value Discovery) you have to identify the relevant Value Drivers and determine the concrete Value Effect. This requires more and more to properly assess the Impact of Intangibles and so-called Extra-financial Effects (Aspects that cannot be directly read from the Financial Numbers of the Company). But it is also important to perform a balanced Application of Valuation Techniques.
VALUESQUE has decades-long Experience in performing Business Valuations from the perspective of a long-term Investor, and hence in including all Value-relevant aspects. We take care of what really matters.

„No Limits“-Cases since 2015
1. Valuation of Complex Financial Instruments
We offer professional valuation services for complex financial and compensation instruments such as earn-outs, convertible loans, silent partnerships, and employee remuneration schemes. Our approach is tailored for investors as well as for accounting purposes under IFRS 3, IFRS 9, IAS 19, IFRS 2, etc. We ensure up-to-date valuation techniques even for the most complex structures—backed by clear, audit-ready documentation.
2. „Valuation No Limits“ and Litigation Support
We offer – as a leading provider in the German-speaking region – expert valuations even for the most complex issues, the most unusual purposes, and the most unconventional assets or liabilities. This is made possible by our unique combination of deep theoretical expertise and extensive practical experience. This service is particularly (though not exclusively) in demand for enforcing claims in legal disputes and in complex decision-making situations. Our “Valuation No Limits” clients include top-tier lawyers, U.S. hedge funds, investment funds, and national as well as international corporate clients. For larger assignments, we benefit from a strong network that supports us in delivering this high-end valuation service.
3. Fund-Valuations for Private Equity and VC
By way of the AIFM-directive the EU forces so-called Alternative Investment Fund Managers to provide independent Valuations for certain Assets on a regular Basis and sometimes even at time of acquisition (in Germany the German Investment Code (Kapitalanlagegesetzbuch KAGB prescribes the Valuation Details). VALUESQUE is your ideal Partner for such Valuations and follows an Approach with a strong Investment Focus: We analyse, model and document our Business Valuations from the Viewpoint of Decision Makers. This Approach allows Fund Managers and Investors to kill two Birds with one Stone: Preparation of mandatory external Valuation Opinions AND new Insights into Value Drivers, Value Effects and Risks of the single Investments.
4. Valuation Appraisals and Fairness Opinions
As a matter of course we also offer classic Valuation Appraisals for all possible Reasons: Tax, Accounting, Legal, Litigation as well as Fairness Opinions (Assessment on the Appropriateness of Acquisition- or Selling-Prices of Targets). We also value medium, small and very small Businesses. You will benefit from VALUESQUE’s long-term Experience in this Field – in particular in difficult Valuation Situations. Along with the Determination of Decision Values we also deliver a Reporting that ensures that the Valuation Results can be well-understood by Clients and other Addressees.
