Hire a valuation expert in Greece and Cyprus

A number you can defend: a method matched to the business, assumptions on the record, and a range that says what would move it.

Somebody always has a number in mind: the founder who built the company, the buyer with a spreadsheet, the investor with a term sheet. A valuation expert replaces it with an argued number that holds up when the other side tests it. The usual occasions in Greece and Cyprus:

  • A sale or an acquisition, where both sides arrive with a number
  • A generational transfer or a sibling buying out a sibling
  • A fundraise, where the price of the round needs a basis
  • A shareholder dispute that needs a figure both sides can examine

The valuation experts on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from Big 4 valuation and transaction teams, corporate finance boutiques and PE and banking roles, where their numbers were taken apart by the other side.

What does a valuation expert actually do?

  • Choose the method to fit the business and the purpose, not the template
  • Normalise the numbers first: owner pay, related-party deals and one-off items
  • Write every assumption down, with its source, so each can be defended
  • Cross-check the conclusion with a second method so it does not hang on one
  • State a range and its drivers instead of a point dressed as certainty
  • Defend the work before a counterparty, a board or a family, and revise it when a challenge lands

How to choose the right valuation expert

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

  1. Normalises the accounts first

    Asks about owner pay, related-party deals and one-off items before quoting any multiple.

  2. Argues the method choice

    Explains why a discounted cash flow, a multiple or an asset approach suits this business, and what the others would show.

  3. Has defended a valuation

    Has had a valuation attacked by a counterparty, an auditor or an investment committee, and can say which assumption drew the fire.
