The fitness and health industry has developed into a significant economic sector in recent years. With the growing degree of professionalization, the requirements for transparency, quality and legally compliant valuations are also increasing. Whether buying or selling a studio, insurance claims, legal disputes or company valuations - independent expertise is increasingly becoming a decisive factor. Publicly appointed and sworn experts (ö.b.u.v.), who combine certified expertise and independence with an official seal of quality, play a central role in this.
Ensuring quality and trust
Public appointment by the Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHK) is a procedure that places high demands on specialist knowledge, integrity and personal suitability. Only those who can prove their special expertise in an extensive examination procedure are appointed and sworn in. The appointment is limited in time and is subject to regular reviews - a system that ensures quality and neutrality in the long term.
In contrast to independent experts, whose title is not legally protected, ö.b.u.v. experts are subject to public supervision. Their reports must be objective, comprehensible and legally sound. This creates security - for companies, investors, insurance companies and courts alike.
Fields of application in the fitness and health industry
In the fitness industry, there are a number of situations in which the involvement of a publicly appointed expert is useful or necessary.
These include
- Court-proof expert opinions in the event of disputes, damage or contractual issues
- Private and arbitration reports for objective dispute resolution
- Profitability analyses and location valuations
- Company valuations for purchase, sale or succession
- Valuations for fitness equipment and inventory
- Preservation of evidence and valuations in insurance or liability matters
- Professional support for start-ups or investment decisions
Especially in economically relevant issues - such as financing, takeovers or claims for damages - the expert opinions of ö.b.u.v. experts provide a legally sound basis for decision-making.
Industry knowledge as decisive added value
A decisive factor in the fitness and healthcare industry is the combination of specialist knowledge and practical experience.
