Business Valuation in Divorce
Matrimonial business valuation for financial remedy: personal goodwill, liquidity, and FPR Part 25 expert reports.
When a spouse owns a trading company or professional practice, the business interest is often the largest matrimonial asset. Valuation must address personal versus transferable goodwill and whether the business can fund a lump sum or maintenance order.
We produce FPR Part 25 compliant matrimonial business valuation reports for party-appointed and single joint expert instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Matrimonial valuations apply family-law adjustments: excluding non-transferable personal goodwill, assessing liquidity, and focusing on resources available for distribution rather than a theoretical open-market sale price alone.
Personal goodwill attaches to the individual and typically does not transfer on sale. Transferable business goodwill has realisable value and is central to the matrimonial valuation debate in owner-managed businesses.
