Business Valuations Business Valuations Business valuations are clear, supportable estimates of the worth of a business. More than simply a process of attaching numbers to tangible assets, these opinions of value should also take into account intangibles such as years of experience, trademarks, rights and goodwill.
Valuations are critical tools in business and financial planning and for tax and legal uses.
Most of the valuations we handle are done to actively assist clients in negotiations between existing principals when purchasing or selling a business and when negotiating with venture capitalists or angel investors. Others arise from litigation matters or are done for various tax purposes. These services are provided to business owners, attorneys, financial planners, insurance firms, judges, financial institutions, real estate appraisers, business brokers, and potential buyers. Our knowledge and expertise allow us to select the proper business valuation approach to fit each client's specific purpose and unique fact pattern to best arrive at supportable, convincing conclusions that can withstand challenges. The specifics of the particular industry, managerial strengths and weaknesses, company comparables and industry concentrations are all taken into account.
