Validating Valuations
Question:
Proving that the price and numbers given about a pharmacy are true and correct (i.e. financial due diligence). What to ask for to validate what you have been told by the broker when you think he is painting a "rosy" picture?

Use Medici Express for a quick and simple indicative valuation.
If we are talking about the business value this is still able to be determined as a total value through financial analysis it then becomes a matter of agreeing share and remuneration for services as opposed to share of profit. Note, if you are acquiring a minority interest with limited control, this is generally discounted by the market.
