Talk to us about your business.

A valuation, a due diligence review, a set of agreements — or just a conversation about whether you need any of them yet. The first 30 minutes are free and carry no obligation.

Free basic valuation returned within 24 hours. Formal engagements scoped and fixed-fee quoted up front.

What happens next

Three steps, no obligation at any of them.

Nobody is asked to commit to a fee before they know what the work involves.

01

We reply within one working day

Your enquiry is read by Marthinus, not routed through an assistant. If it's something we're not the right firm for, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.

02

A 30-minute scoping conversation, free

We work out what you actually need, which is often narrower than what people expect. A shareholder buyout, a SARS review and a trade sale each call for a different exercise, and scoping it properly is what keeps the fee down.

03

A fixed-fee proposal in writing

Scope, deliverable, timeline and price, set out before any work starts. No hourly billing and no open-ended engagements — you know the number before you decide.

Where we work

Three offices, national coverage.

Valuation and diligence work is document-led, so most of a mandate runs remotely wherever you are — and we have somewhere to meet you in each of the three main centres.

Western Cape

Cape Town & the Garden Route

Our Green Point office. In-person meetings are straightforward across the metro, the Winelands and along the coast.

Valuations in Cape Town
Gauteng

Pretoria & Johannesburg

Our Faerie Glen office serves Pretoria and the wider Gauteng market, with site visits arranged where an engagement warrants them.

Valuations in Pretoria

We also act for clients in Gqeberha, Bloemfontein and elsewhere in South Africa. If you're outside these areas, get in touch anyway — distance rarely affects what we can do or what it costs.

Common questions

Questions we're asked most.

How quickly will I hear back?

Every enquiry gets a reply within one working day. Free basic valuations are returned within 24 hours.

Is the first conversation charged?

No. The initial 30-minute scoping call is free and carries no obligation. We quote a fixed fee afterwards, once we both understand the scope.

What should I have ready before I call?

Nothing formal. Knowing your sector, roughly what you turned over last year and what's prompting the enquiry is enough to have a useful first conversation. Financial statements only become necessary once a mandate is agreed.

Is what I send you confidential?

Yes. Enquiry details and any figures you share are treated as confidential and are not shared with third parties. Where a mandate requires it, we'll sign a formal non-disclosure agreement before you send anything sensitive.

Where are your offices?

Cape Town (Green Point) and Pretoria (Faerie Glen). Meetings at either are by appointment.

Do you take on work outside these three cities?

Yes — we act nationally, including Johannesburg, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein and across the Garden Route. Most of the work is document-led and runs remotely, with meetings by video call or on site where it's warranted.

Free basic valuation
