Valuation - The Key to Achieving Your Goals
Valuation is a widely used discipline that can play a key role in helping you achieve your financial goals. If you own a business, you will, at some point, need professional valuation services if you want to protect your wealth or determine how much an asset is worth. Valuations are necessary to:
- sell your business at a price commensurate with its value
- provide a lender with financial statements for a business loan
- plan for a merger, acquisition or stock offering
- develop an estate, tax or succession plan to protect your wealth
- determine the value of assets and liabilities for a divorce settlement
- provide expert testimony in the litigation arena
- initiate a claim for damages
- establish an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
