Business Valuations
It's more than just assigning a dollar value to a business or an asset. It is the application of standards, formulas, and judgment - to arrive at an accurate and defensible assessment of value.
When is a valuation needed?- Acquisition
- Buy/sell agreements
- Divorce
- Estate and gift taxes
- Mergers
- Probate
- Succession planning
- Buyers and sellers
- Financial planners
- Owners
- Insurance agents
Information is readily available for valuing a publicly traded corporation, but not for determining the worth of a closely held company. A valuation of a closely held company dictates the utilization of a professional skilled in business matters, trained in business calculation techniques, proficient in taxation issues, experienced dealing with matters in dispute, and who is an objective third party. A certified public accountant meets all of these criteria. We give quality advice in the real world to real companies with real problems. Those who need to rely on a business valuation - lawyers, judges, business owners - respect this practical experience.
Why is litigation support important?The proper advice and analysis in these instances will:
- Enhance the litigation strategy
- Enhance your negotiating position
- Enhance the likelihood of a satisfactory out-of-court settlement
- Enhance or minimize the settlement amount
- Enhance the probability of winning the case
- Loss of profits and determination of the amounts
- Business and asset valuations
- Insurance losses
- Business interruption claims
- Divorce settlements with alternative tax results
- Breach of contract
- Bankruptcy
