Valuations

As financial professionals, we often hear the question, “How much is my business worth?”

Today business owners, bankers, attorneys, and judges are realizing that businesses have value in excess of their tangible assets.

To really use valuation as a tool to improve your business, figuring out an estimated fair market value is just a first step. The real key is acting on the knowledge. Small business owners frequently make decisions that are not short-term in nature. It is helpful to be able to rely on an appraisal process to better make long-term decisions.  Our valuations are used for management planning, transaction support, tax planning, financial reporting and succession planning.

For tax compliance purposes, business interests must be valued when transferred as a gift or as part of an estate. A well-prepared valuation is a cornerstone of business succession planning.

It is vital to work with someone certified when determining the value of your business. We can work together to provide your business the proper valuation to suit your needs.
