Business Valuation Institute UK (BVIUK)

Yesterday, we had a fantastic virtual class in BVAcademy, where our Expert Member, Rob Schlegel, led a discussion on the most common mistakes and errors in valuation reports. Rob took us through the most common mistakes and errors in valuation reports, breaking them down in a way that made even the most seasoned professionals stop and reflect. The feedback has been incredible, and it’s clear that everyone walked away with something valuable—whether it was a new perspective, a practical tip, or a renewed confidence in their valuation approach. A huge thank you to Rob for delivering such a first-class session, and to everyone who joined, asked questions, and shared insights. These discussions are what make BVAcademy such a dynamic learning space, and we can’t wait to do it again. Want to be part of the next session?
