Lambert Chapman LLP's Nigel Whittle looks at the newly launched UK200Group Valuation Index

Lambert Chapman LLP are pleased to be members of the UK200Group, one of the foremost mutual association of quality assured independent accountants and lawyers serving the small and medium business sector. 

The UK200Group has recently announced the publication of its valuation index, designed to assist firms with the valuation of small and medium sized business.

Various data is already published on valuations and on the larger deals achieved in the corporate finance market. However, it was found that these would often not be comparable to the actual mergers and acquisitions which were being achieved by small and medium business.

After many months collecting and collating data from its members, the UK200Group published its findings.

The publication of the index comes as many reports suggest that the economy may be slowly starting to recover and that merger and acquisition activity is increasing.

Over recent months, I have been approached by clients wishing to make acquisitions and also by clients deciding to retire or to dispose of their business.

In advising clients it is essential that I have access to the latest figures showing current values and trends in the market.

The publication of the UK200Group index is based on actual transactions involving the sale of businesses in the last 5 years and provides an ideal research tool to assist in evaluating current market expectations.

If you are interested in disposing of your business, making an acquisition or more information on the UK200Group Valuation Index please give me a call on 01376 326266 after reviewing our Corporate Finance Services page by clicking on the link below.
