Business Valuation Solution
Services
When value is in question? Whether you are selling
or buying a business, planning for your business, settling a contract dispute,
creating an ESOP, seeking business financing or doing a strategic plan, it's
crucial to have a sound, professional valuation opinion from a firm that will
stand behind its conclusions.
Business owners frequently make best-guess estimates
of value based on a rule of thumb, book value or an old appraisal report.
Relying on these informal, inaccurate or even outdated measures of worth can
lead to underestimates of value and costly mistakes. We can determine which
is the best valuation method for you.
Here's How:
- Define Value. As Certified Valuation Analysists (CVA), we will define what value you are
seeking so the result fits the purpose.
- Gather Data. We will gather historical and projected
financial, operational and economic information about the business, including
the company's financial statements, tax returns, history of ownership changes
and resumes of current management.
- Determine the Value. We will determine which valuation
method or methods we will use to provide the most accurate value for your
company as a whole, based on the specifics of the situation. We will then
analyze all of the information gathered about the business itself. We will
look at the value established for similar businesses as well as the economic
climate for your industry and the region in which your company operates.
- Adjust the Value. We will consider attributes that
affect the value of the specific shares in question. These include the marketability,
attached voting rights, whether it represents a controlling or minority
interest in the company and any special circumstances relating to the company.
To reflect these factors, we apply the discounts or premiums necessary.
