Receive a Precise Estimation of a Company’s Value

A business valuation is the process of quantifying a company’s financial worth by identifying how it produces value, calculating the value it currently generates and forecasting its future production. There are many traditional, novel and experimental business valuation methodologies.

Multifaceted Business Valuations

Our business valuators analyze numerous characteristics, some of the most essential being financial standing, assets, liabilities and market position.

• Financial standing: Financial standing is the income a business generates, the percentage that each product or service contributes to income and the potential for income to grow. We often quantify its EBITDA — or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization — to explore its operational efficiency and revenue potential under optimal management.
• Assets and liabilities: Asset-based valuation measures the value of a company’s equipment, real property, inventory, liquid capital and other tangible assets. Business valuation can consider the intangible assets, such as customer relationships, trademarks, intellectual property, company software, contracts, and licenses. We also quantify the business’s financial liabilities and subtract them from the value of its assets, as well as appropriate them into valuation methods as necessary.
• Market position: We also analyze the business’s market position to determine its transactional value. Market position encompasses numerous variables, ranging from the market’s present health, its outlook, the company’s reputation within the market and its agency over outside perception.

Benefits of Business Valuation Services

Our comprehensive business valuation expertise allows us to adapt our strategy to the situation, utilizing the most practical, accurate approach given details about the company and its market. The clients we serve experience numerous financial and operational advantages:

• Strengthen any succession plan or exit strategy: Establishing a baseline value for your business before you are ready to retire enables you to strategically build your business value to ensure you receive top dollar upon exiting.
• Gain vital information when purchasing or selling a closely held business: Confirm that any offer and selling price align with the business’s fair market value before you purchase or sell a company.
• Quell shareholder or partner disputes: Establishing a company’s value before a dispute escalates can preserve a professional relationship and ensure sufficient investment capital.
• Streamline estate and gift tax planning: Having your business properly valued for estate or tax purposes can insulate your professional legacy from undervaluation or overtaxation.
• Improve bank financing qualifications: Conducting an objective business valuation can allow you to negotiate financing and terms with lenders.
