Business Valuation
Business valuations are essential when dealing with issues related to the full or partial sale of a business.
A valuation report helps to:
Securing Financing
Securing financing can be a significant challenge to any business, whether through the sale of stock or traditional financing. A certified valuation report increases the confidence and comfort level of a potential investor or lending institution.
A Closer Look at the Business Valuation Process
Determining the fair market value of a business involves many variables that require consideration. Our team evaluates your company's strengths, assets, financial performance and growth projections. We also appreciate and properly value intangibles inherent in any company that are not represented on static financial statements. By determining the justified market range of value that a fully informed buyer is likely to pay for a company, we're able to minimize the risk of losing a timely sale with a qualified buyer by over or undervaluing the business.
Recasting
Proper interpretation of financial information is a crucial step in the valuation process. Financial statements prepared for tax purposes present a "tax" view of a business rather than an "economic" view, which reflects the true cash flow available to a new owner. The valuator must be able to ask the right questions and "read between the lines" to present the total discretionary pre-tax income that would be available. Our team works to "recast" the company's financial statements so that the valuation presents the true value of the business.
