Value your business

At one point or another, every business owner will have a need for a formal valuation. To many owners, their risk, painful hard lessons learned and sacrifice of time and energy spent growing their business is prices less. We understand that. However, to others, it is looked at very differently. So, what is your business really worth? How do increase it? It’s more than just what a balance sheet says as this is only tells part of the story.

Since every business is different, we tailor each valuation engagement to the particular business interest being valued.

We interview the current ownership and management extensively all the while exercising discretion and privacy. Our accredited business valuation leadership uses current generally accepted approaches to determine the overall value of your business.
