About Athla Valuations

Helping you & your clients get the best outcomes

Dealing with clients who need private company valuations can be a thankless task. They can be time-consuming, cause backlogs in your case load and are required to pass HMRC’s increasingly challenging standards.

To help you overcome these hurdles, we offer a full Private Company Valuation Service, delivered quickly and efficiently to the highest professional standards for all Corporate and Employment Law situations. We also provide valuations for family & private client situations and estate planning & probate, as well as a range of other complex special situations on a case-by-case basis.

Your clients can enjoy superior outcomes thanks to our unique valuation tool, both speeding up the process but also offering a more accurate end result.

Whilst we apply the highly technical valuation methodologies required to satisfy HMRC, our reports are designed to be easy-to-understand for your clients so that they feel confident in using the report.
We love ‘difficult’ cases and tight deadlines!

If you are ever faced with a client who needs an ‘emergency valuation’ with a tight deadline, talk to us - we relish the challenge!

Once we have gathered all the required information, our valuation tool can generate a valuation within minutes, using 19 different methodologies that complement one another.

And thanks to our dedicated team along with our flexible and streamlined work process, we can turn around even complex valuations within days - without sacrificing accuracy.

Indeed, one of our recent valuations was completed in less than 48hrs and saved the client tens of thousands in tax liability.

Client-friendly valuations are good for you

When it comes to valuing private companies, arriving at the final figure is only half the challenge. Turning that hard data into something that your client can understand and use to achieve their desired outcome is essential.

Our valuation process allows us to spend less chargeable time which will save your clients’ money and offer a better quality, more client-friendly and more robustly-argued report.

We also take up less of your chargeable time in working on a valuation project which benefits both you and your clients, as well as freeing you up to work on other projects for them.
