Business Valuations

There are many reasons for valuing a business - for tax and estate planning, shareholder disputes, divorce proceedings, insurance claims, and sale or purchase of a business.

A business valuation is a best estimate of the fair market value of an enterprise given the known facts and assumptions at a point in time. The valuation process is complex and requires specialized knowledge and experience. It combines quantitative financial techniques with qualitative analysis of a business, industry and general economic conditions.

An independent valuation can help position a business for sale by establishing a fair price and identifying potential purchasers. For this reason, business valuation is a key element in succession planning. It can also be used in negotiating buy/sell agreements and as a key tool in the due diligence process.

Valuations are also utilized for other business planning or strategic purposes. These include attracting capital, obtaining debt or equity financing, or for litigation support in the case of shareholder (partner) disputes.
