Why Value a Business?

Business Valuations for Business Owners:

As a small business owner or professional you will run into situations where you need to professionally "value" your business. Business valuations are often done as part of any divorce or estate planning or asset/financial related process you are going through.

Insurance salesmen will often request a business valuation to determine the size of certain types of insurance policies.

Business valuations are often conducted when you are anticipating a financial event in your business such as adding a partner or equity owner; the creation of an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Program); or prior to distributions to one or more investors.
