Business Valuation

Business valuation is undertaken to develop an estimate of the value of an interest in an operating company. Operating company value is driven by the collection of physical (“tangible”) and non-physical (“intangible”) assets that generate cash flow and have market values.

Business valuation is complicated and in order for an appraiser to reach an appropriate value, they must consider the impacts of the economy, the industry, and the specific characteristics that drive and that detract from value of the business. VFP’s primary objective is that of helping you understand our work throughout the process. This approach allow you to make decisions about how to proceed and provide your input and knowledge about the business value. Your participation in the process and your understanding of the value and the key variables that drive the value will help you make good decisions.

At Valuation & Forensic Partners, our appraisals are backed by our extensive qualifications and experience. We approach our valuations with a clear understanding of the work required to arrive at a reasonable value. We start by analyzing and reviewing the company’s financial statements, conducting industry research, and ultimately developing a thorough understanding of the business and what creates and drives value for the shareholders.

Our business valuation reports are not a “black box.” They are designed to get all parties on the same page about the most important valuation issues and to clearly explain the assumptions and conclusions we have drawn from the information, research, and conclusions developed during our analysis process.

Many situations require a valuation, and our professionals can help you in almost any circumstance. The box to the left will guide you to more information about each of our valuation service offerings. Or click here for a detailed listing of our services.
