What is a Valuation?

A business valuation is an independent, estimate of the value of an ownership interest of a business at a specific point in time. The process combines hours of research and analysis with the experience and judgment of a valuation professional.

Valuations combine financial, economic, and market analysis with the strategic understanding of a business. A valuation takes into account the unique circumstances specific to the entity being valued along with the purpose of the valuation to determine the value of an ownership interest in the business.

Unlike an appraisal of jewelry or real estate, valuation "includes the tangible and intangible assets of a company on a going concern." When valuing an entity on a going concern, valuators rely on their experience and professional judgment to project future cash flow, determine appropriate discount rates, and estimate potential risk.

By relying on trained and experienced valuators that provide an objective and thorough opinion, you will have the peace of mind that your value can withstand high levels of scrutiny whether from the IRS, a court, opposing council, or a potential buyer.
