Expert insights on business valuation, M&A, due diligence and financial advisory from Assetica's team in Dubai, UAE & UK. Written by Bill Anderson, FCCA, Chief Executive Officer.
What does the Assetica blog cover?
Practical guides on business valuation in the UAE, UK and Europe: valuation methods and multiples, the AED 2 million Golden Visa business threshold, UAE corporate tax and transfer pricing, M&A and due diligence, succession planning, and what buyers discount for when they price a private company.
Who writes these guides?
They are written under the direction of Bill Anderson FCCA, Chief Executive Officer of Assetica and formerly Global CFO of the Royal Bank of Scotland corporate banking division, where he ran finance for over 2 billion pounds in profits and 103 billion pounds in total assets.
Can I use these guides instead of a valuation?
No. They explain how valuation works and what drives value, but they are general reference rather than advice. Every engagement requires its own analysis with a stated valuation date, normalised earnings and evidence specific to the business.
