Case Study: "I Needed a Business Valuation for Divorce – Here’s Why It Saved Me £400K"

The Situation: When Emma and her husband began divorce proceedings after 15 years of marriage, their most contentious asset wasn't their home - it was their £2.1M-revenue dental practice. "Our solicitors kept arguing about the business value," Emma explained. "We desperately needed an independent valuation for divorce that would hold up in court."

Why a Standard Valuation Wouldn't Work:

Emma discovered divorce valuations require:

1. Court-Admissible Methodology (Family Law Rule 25B compliant)

2. Forensic Accounting (tracing all financial flows)

3. Future Earnings Analysis (not just past performance)

Our "Valuation for Divorce" Process:

Evo-Valuations conducted a Divorce-Specific Business Appraisal including:

1. Dual-Purpose Assessment

• Calculated market value for potential sale

• Determined matrimonial value under UK family law

  
  

2. Hidden Asset Discovery

• Uncovered £78k in undeclared owner benefits

• Identified £120k in personal expenses run through business

  
  

3. Expert Witness Preparation

• Created court-ready report with clear explanations

• Prepared testimony explaining valuation methodology

The Shocking Reality:While Emma's husband claimed the practice was worth £1.2M, our valuation for divorce revealed:

True value: £1.85M (54% higher)

£198k in personal expenses improperly deducted

£320k in goodwill that needed proper accounting

The Outcome:

✔ Court accepted our valuation as definitive evidence

✔ Emma secured £925k settlement (fair 50% share)

✔ Avoided £400k+ in potential losses from undervaluation

✔ Saved £25k+ in unnecessary expert witness battles

"This valuation for divorce wasn't just about numbers - it was about getting justice," Emma said. "I walked away knowing I received what our family business was truly worth."
