Supporting businesses
across London
Central London, North London, South London, East London and West London. Enquiries are welcome from businesses throughout the region, including smaller towns and rural areas.
Consultations and information review are arranged remotely. There is no local office implied by this page. Tell us your location, the valuation purpose and your decision timetable so we can discuss an appropriate scope.
A practical starting point
- Client concentration and contract renewals
- Founder responsibilities and replacement salary
- Office commitments and flexible working costs
These are prompts for the example below. The information needed for your business will be agreed individually.
Owner-led consultancy: separating the founder from the business
A consultancy can generate strong profit while still depending on its founder for introductions, delivery and client retention. For a London owner considering a sale, the question is how much of that profit would remain after replacing those responsibilities.
Review income by client, the duration of signed engagements and the cost of an experienced replacement. Separate recurring fees from project wins. Document which relationships sit with the company and which depend on an individual.
Make the brief
specific to you.
Tell us whether you need a whole-business or shareholding valuation, who will use it and the date it should relate to. Explain any proposed transaction and the documents currently available.
A valuation range is sensitive to the evidence and assumptions. We agree the fee and intended deliverable before starting; no value or transaction outcome is promised.

UK-wide coverage
When clients are national but costs are local
For a consultancy based in London, distinguish the location of customers from the cost of running the operation. A local office lease may affect cash flows even when delivery is remote and clients are spread nationally. If the owner plans to leave, document which sales and delivery responsibilities need replacing.

Location and service questions
Can I arrange a business valuation in London remotely?
Yes. Enquiries from London are handled remotely. Share your valuation purpose and business town or postcode, then agree the information required, deliverable and fee. This is service coverage, not a claim of a local office.
What should a London consultancy prepare?
Prepare client concentration, recurring contract terms, office commitments and the owner’s responsibilities. Show how any proposed replacement salary or rent adjustment is supported rather than removing those costs automatically.
