FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We use internationally recognised valuation methodologies: discounted cash flow (DCF), comparable market multiples (EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, P/E), precedent transactions, and net asset value analysis. The appropriate methodology depends on the sector, company size, and purpose of the valuation. All reports include detailed methodology documentation and sensitivity analysis.
A standard due diligence for an SME requires three to six weeks. For more complex transactions or multi-jurisdictional due diligence, the timeline can extend to two to three months. Access to the data room and the quality of the vendor's documentation are the factors that most influence the timeline.
Financial due diligence analyses the quality of earnings, actual debt levels, and capital investment commitments in the context of a corporate transaction. Forensic accounting is a retrospective investigation to detect fraud, accounting irregularities, or shareholder disputes — with specific methodology to ensure findings are admissible in judicial or arbitration proceedings.
In Spain, limited companies are required to have their annual accounts audited when they exceed two of the following thresholds for two consecutive years: total assets > EUR 4M, net turnover > EUR 8M, or average employees > 50. Companies receiving public grants exceeding EUR 600,000 and issuers of listed securities are also subject to mandatory audit.
In shareholder disputes — separation, exclusion, or exercise of the right of separation — the valuation of the shares or participations is the central issue. An independent expert valuation report can be submitted as evidence in judicial and arbitration proceedings and is typically decisive in resolving the dispute. We produce expert witness valuation reports that comply with the evidentiary standards required by Spanish civil procedure.
