Business Valuations

A business valuation is a process and set of procedures used to determine the fair market value of an owner’s interest in his or her business. For many business owners, their company represents a significant portion of their overall family wealth and understanding its value is often critical in executing a variety of strategies and objectives.

We provide the following types of business valuation reports, depending on the client’s needs and the purpose of the valuation:

Calculation valuation
Estimate valuation
Comprehensive valuation

As independent business valuators and advisors, there are many reasons why we would prepare valuation reports on the value of a business interest. Some of the more common reasons include:

Estate and succession planning
Corporate reorganizations
Matrimonial disputes, including the determination of net family property, income for support purposes and valuations of business interests
Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures
Employee stock options
Shareholder buyouts

Going public/private transactions
Fairness opinions
Fair value financial reporting and goodwill impairment testing
Intellectual property
Expropriation of business interests
