Why Choose David Craddock for Company Valuation Services
As a business valuation expert with over 35 years of experience, David Craddock works directly with HMRC as Technical Secretary to the Share Valuation Worked Examples Group, which meets quarterly with HMRC to shape how valuations are assessed. That gives clients a level of insight into HMRC’s own thinking that most valuation consultants simply don’t have access to.
- Trusted HMRC technical expertise
- Proven track record on complex valuation cases
- Deep experience across every major employee share scheme
- Clear, defensible reports built to survive HMRC enquiry
Share Valuations for Employee Share Schemes
If you’re granting EMI, CSOP, SIP or SAYE options, the option price has to hold up under HMRC scrutiny, and for EMI, it has to be agreed with HMRC before options are granted. Get it wrong and the scheme can lose its tax-advantaged status entirely. We handle the valuation, the supporting evidence, and the HMRC submission itself where one’s required.
HMRC Share Valuation: Why It Matters
HMRC no longer offers routine valuation checks, so an independent, well-evidenced HMRC share valuation is more important than it’s ever been. Get it wrong and you’re looking at unexpected tax liabilities, penalties, rejected schemes, or disputes mid-transaction. Get it right, and your position is defensible from the outset.
