Company Valuation & Due Diligence Consulting

At Van Hal Ventures, we deliver professional management consulting services for business valuation and due diligence tailored to the needs of entrepreneurs, investors, and management teams in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). 

Our consultants determine the true value of companies, business units, joint ventures, and investment projects, ensuring that every transaction is backed by accurate data and objective financial insight. A precise valuation provides the foundation for sound decision-making, whether you are buying, selling, restructuring, or seeking to attract investors. 

By combining advanced valuation methodologies with a deep understanding of market dynamics, Van Hal Ventures helps clients make informed, confident, and sustainable investment decisions.

Our corporate finance consulting services provide neutral and scientifically grounded business valuations for all stages of the company lifecycle — from start-up financing to mergers, acquisitions, and ownership transfers. 

We recognise that buyers and sellers often have different value expectations, especially in privately held or family-owned enterprises. Our independent valuation process bridges these differences by delivering transparency, clarity, and objectivity. 

Typical use cases for business valuation include: 

• Company sales and acquisitions 
   
• Shareholder changes and buy-outs 
   
• Mergers, joint ventures, and capital increases 
   
• Start-up valuations and investment rounds 
   
• Strategic planning and restructuring 
   

Our corporate finance experts provide end-to-end consulting and implementation for valuation and due diligence processes, using globally recognised methodologies and best practices. 

Our services include: 

• Comprehensive consulting on business valuations for purchases, sales, mergers, buy-outs, start-ups, and joint ventures 
   
• Execution of valuations using recognised financial models, including: 
   
• Income Approach (Ertragswertverfahren) 
   
• Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Approach 
   
• Capital Market Approach 
   
• Real Option Valuation Approach 
   
• Target-oriented due diligence investigations for business transactions 
   
• Independent review and secondary evaluation of existing business valuations 
   

Business valuation is a complex process influenced by numerous internal and external factors. Our approach combines financial, fiscal, legal, and strategic perspectives to ensure that every valuation reflects the full scope of opportunities and risks associated with the company. 

We consider: 

• Fiscal and regulatory frameworks 
   
• Industry-specific and market dynamics 
   
• Strategic corporate planning and growth potential 
   
• Legal and structural parameters 
   
• Operational performance and management quality 
   

By applying multiple valuation methodologies, we enhance the accuracy and reliability of our assessments—providing both sellers and buyers with greater confidence in determining fair market value. 

A thorough due diligence process is essential to evaluate the true risk and potential of any business transaction. Our due diligence reviews go beyond financial data, examining every relevant aspect of the target company to uncover strengths, weaknesses, and hidden risks. 

Our due diligence disciplines include: 

• Strategic Due Diligence – alignment of the target’s business model with long-term strategy 
   
• Financial Due Diligence – assessment of balance sheets, profitability, and cash flow 
   
• Commercial Due Diligence – analysis of markets, customers, and competitive positioning 
   
• Tax and Legal Due Diligence – compliance, liabilities, and fiscal implications 
   
• Operational and HR Due Diligence – evaluation of management, workforce, and organisational efficiency 
   
• Cultural and Environmental Due Diligence – ESG and sustainability considerations 
   
• Technical and IT Due Diligence – evaluation of systems, infrastructure, and digital maturity 
   

Through comprehensive due diligence, Van Hal Ventures ensures that all stakeholders gain maximum transparency and transaction security, minimising risk and enabling informed strategic decisions. 

With Van Hal Ventures, you gain a trusted partner that combines corporate finance expertise, strategic insight, and independent analysis. We help you quantify company value, identify potential risks, and structure transactions that support long-term growth and stability. 

Our mission is simple: to turn financial analysis into strategic advantage — ensuring that every investment, acquisition, or divestment is built on a foundation of clarity, precision, and value creation.
