Confirmation of Transfer Balance in Business Purchase-Sale Transactions
The confirmation of the transfer balance is one of the key services provided by auditors during the acquisition or sale of a business. This service is highly popular among entrepreneurs as it helps assess the state of the business at the time of its transfer to the new owner, while maintaining all the benefits and supply conditions. It helps minimize risks when purchasing a business and assess the fair value of the enterprise.
Situation
Recently, there have been frequent transactions where entrepreneurs buy an existing business without changing the industry, main product range, or suppliers. In such cases, preparing the transfer balance becomes crucial as it helps preserve the current trade chains and supply terms. However, the process of preparing the balance requires thorough verification and an in-depth look at every aspect of the business.
Solution
- Business Condition Assessment: Auditors carefully analyze the financial and material assets of the company, examine its cash flows, liabilities, and contracts with suppliers and customers in order to prepare the transfer balance.
- Asset Inventory: It is important to conduct an inventory of business assets, check their turnover, and determine their fair value to ensure balance accuracy.
- Role and Timeframe Definition: Preparing the balance requires role distribution among departments and setting clear deadlines for task completion. This helps minimize time spent on the process.
- Document Preparation: After performing all checks, all documents must be properly prepared, including tax payments and contracts with counterparties.
Result
- Preparation for Negotiations: Based on the completed work, both the seller and buyer have a clear understanding of the business's financial condition, which allows for effective negotiations on price and terms of the sale.
- Price Analysis and Business Valuation: Valuation of all assets and liabilities allows the buyer to consider all relevant aspects when determining the business price.
