Understanding Addbacks in a Business Valuation
One of the most important components of any business valuation or business sale analysis is determining the true maintainable earnings of the business.
In many privately owned businesses, reported accounting profits do not accurately reflect the genuine commercial earning capacity of the enterprise. This is where “addbacks” or “normalisation adjustments” become critically important.
At BRV, we regularly assess appropriate addbacks when preparing:
- independent business valuations
- business sale assessments
- family law valuations
- shareholder dispute reports
- restructuring valuations
- professional practice valuations
