Common Economic Valuations
A fairness opinion is an independent assessment that determines whether the terms of a financial transaction, including pricing, are fair from a financial point of view as of a specific date. It is commonly used in significant corporate transactions, ensuring that fiduciaries make well-informed decisions and demonstrate reasonable business judgement is used.
Fairness Opinion Services include:
- Independent Opinions: Our team provides fairness opinions, ensuring transparency and fairness from a financial point of view for decision-makers.
- In-Depth Financial Analysis: We conduct detailed due diligence, analyzing the financial aspects of the transaction to determine if the proposed transaction is fair from a financial point of view.
- Expert Analysis: Fairness opinions are based on detailed financial analyses, often using valuation methods such as the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) , Guideline Public Company, and Precedent Transaction methods.
Fairness opinions offer impartial, third-party evaluations that can reduce the likelihood of shareholder disputes and enhance the chances that fiduciaries will be safeguarded by the business judgment rule.
M&A and Transaction Valuations assess the fair market value of a Company, its assets, or certain member interests, providing clarity on deal pricing, financial fairness, and strategic alignment. These valuations are essential for structuring negotiations, performing due diligence, and identifying risks and synergies to assist successful transactions. Withum services deliver actionable insights, financial clarity and audit-ready reports to help your business navigate mergers, acquisitions and restructurings.

- Tailored Valuation Methods: We employ income-based (DCF), market-based, and cost-based approaches, among others, to accurately reflect the target company’s value.
- Risk Mitigation: Identification of potential risks, synergies, and strategic opportunities to optimize negotiations and deal success.
ESG (environmental, social, and governance) Impact Valuations help businesses quantify the financial value of their sustainability efforts, identify risks, uncover opportunities and showcase how sustainability efforts drive value creation. Companies with strong ESG profiles attract investors, mitigate reputational risks and often achieve a market value premium.
