What is a Business Valuation?
A business valuation is a structured process designed to quantify the "value" of a business or a business interest for a defined purpose. Determining the value of an owner's interest in a closely held business can be important for personal, business and tax reasons. However, determining value is not a simple process since there is no established market for closely held business interests. Therefore, an objective, professionally prepared business valuation is critical.
Our Business Valuation Consultants use a comprehensive approach to valuing business interests. We perform in-depth analysis, using relevant market data, and apply state-of-the-art valuation techniques to ensure an accurate and defensible business valuation report. We analyze the nature of your business and its operations, the quality of its management and the financial results and condition. We also evaluate the economic environment, the outlook for the industry and your entity’s competitive strengths and weaknesses. These are just part of the complex set of considerations our professionals research to ascertain the indicated value of your business.
When is a Valuation needed?
A professionally prepared valuation can assist business owners in reaching their goals, such as:
• Sell or purchase a business at a price commensurate with its value
• Develop an estate or tax plan to preserve wealth
• Create a succession plan
• Facilitate shareholder transfers
• Plan for a merger, acquisition or stock offering
• Determine the value of assets and liabilities for a divorce settlement
• Assist attorneys in litigation
• File an insurance claim
