If you or another business owner you know is faced with one of the following situations, he or she may need a business valuation:

  • Is developing a growth or strategic plan
  • Needs more capital to grow the business
  • Wants to retire or exit the business
  • Has or is looking for an opportunity for acquisition or merger
  • Has an employee stock option plan and a 409A compliance requirement
  • Has an ESOP plan
  • Has developed a special technology, trademark, proprietary process, etc.
  • Has a shareholder dispute
  • Is faced with a marital dissolution situation
  • Is facing potential litigation or needs an expert opinion as to the value of a business or economic damages
  • Wants to transition the business to family
  • Just wants to know the business value

These reasons are among the many reasons you or another business owner you know needs a business valuation.

The business valuation process considers the economic, industry, and specific situation of the business.  The process involves a complete financial analysis and value assessment of the business.

Because the valuation process is so involved, a qualified business analyst or appraiser is best equipped to serve the needs of the business owner.
