Business Valuation

Establishing an accurate assessment of value for any business, enterprise or intangible asset requires in-depth specialized knowledge. Numbers, facts, figures, balance sheets and financial statements simply are not adequate to accurately measure the true fair market value of an asset.

The value of a business is not the equity disclosed on historical financial statements.

• There exist many different methods to value a business. The purpose of the valuation impacts the methodology, as does the industry in which the business functions.
• Business valuation techniques should be applied to the business marketed for sale, and should be utilized by the potential purchaser of any business.
• Failure to value intellectual property understates a business's value and reduces the business's borrowing abilities!

Reasons a company might require a valuation

• Negotiate a Purchase, Sale or Merger of a Business
• Adequacy of Life Insurance
• Buy/Sell Agreements
• Charitable Contributions
• Disruption of a Business
• Dissenting Shareholder Actions
• Eminent Domain
