The
complexity
of
today’s
business
market
makes
it
likely
that
an
appraisal
value
of
your
business
may
need
to
be
determined.
A
valuation
establishes
the
worth
of
your
business
by
setting
values
for
all
tangible
and
intangible
assets,
including
real
and
personal
property,
debt
and
goodwill.
The
appraisal
process
requires
a
multidimensional
examination
of
your
business
and
its
environment.
Pertinent
financial,
tax,
economic,
and
industry
data
are
analyzed
and
interpreted
to
arrive
at
the
worth
of
a
business.
When
is
an
Independent
Valuation
Needed?
There
are
many
and
diverse
reasons
for
a
business
valuation.
Common
circumstances
include:
Your
company
may
be
considering
acquiring
or
merging
with
another
company.
In
some
cases,
both
companies
may
need
to
be
valued
to
establish
a
fair
exchange
or
payment.
We
can
assist
in
determining
the
value
of
the
entities
involved
in
the
transaction.
Buy-sell
agreements
are
very
important
tools
in
closely-held
entities.
They
may
allow
owners
to
transfer
their
interests
according
to
a
pre-agreed
price
or
a
price
based
upon
a
pre-agreed
valuation
method.
Buy-sell
agreements
provide
for
a
smooth
transfer
of
ownership
with
minimal
business
interruptions.
We
can
assist
in
determining
which
valuation
method
or
price
is
appropriate.
- Employee
Stock
Ownership
Plans
(ESOP)
ESOPs
are
employer-funded
employee
incentive
ownership
arrangements.
When
appropriate,
they
can
provide
capital
and
tax
advantages.
ESOPs
need
to
be
valued
annually
to
support
the
employer’s
deduction.
We
can
assist
in
these
annual
valuations.
You
may
desire
to
sell
your
business
for
retirement
or
other
reasons.
It
is
important
that
you
receive
top
dollar
for
your
business.
Our
valuation
professionals
can
help
you
value
your
business
for
maximum
sale
price.
We
can
also
assist
you
in
locating
buyers
and
negotiating
the
sale
of
your
interest.
Your
business
may
need
to
borrow
money
for
any
number
of
reasons.
When
applying
to
a
financial
institution
for
a
loan,
it
is
important
to
know
what
your
business
is
worth.
We
can
assist
you
in
valuing
your
business.
In
some
instances,
the
principals
of
a
closely-held
business
may
not
have
the
funds
to
buy
one
another
out
in
the
event
of
death.
In
these
cases,
life
insurance
can
be
a
very
useful
resource
for
providing
the
necessary
funds.
Determining
the
adequate
amount
of
insurance
to
carry
on
the
lives
of
the
principals
requires
knowledge
of
the
value
of
the
business.
- Estate
and
gift
tax
planning
It
is
absolutely
necessary
to
know
the
value
of
one’s
business
when
planning
for
estate
and
gift
tax
purposes.
Proper
planning
should
provide
sufficient
assets
to
maintain
your
family’s
lifestyle
and
minimize
taxes.
We
can
assist
in
valuing
your
business
for
this
reason
while
