Business Valuation

Do you know how much your business is worth? Are you considering buying an existing business or selling your business?  Business valuation is a complex undertaking; however, an accurate valuation is invaluable. The eventual cash flow out of or into a business can have a major impact on the company’s financial future. With years of experience, Marien + Company have the training and credentials to provide a “scientific approach” to business valuations.  Utilizing standards developed by the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA), our certified valuation specialist will make sure you are protected. We can help you determine the value of your business, as well as address any changes that could increase its value.

There are many instances when business valuations are required or desired, such as in conjunction with any of the following situations:

  • Adequacy of Life Insurance
  • Eminent Domain
  • Bankruptcy and Foreclosure
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)
  • Buy / Sell Agreements
  • Divorce Situations
  • Charitable Contributions
  • Estate and Gift Taxes
  • Financing Arrangements
  • Initial Public Offerings
  • Franchise Valuation or Evaluation
  • Liquidation or Reorganization
  • Succession Planning
  • Mergers or Acquisitions
  • Gifting Programs
  • Sale or Purchase of a Business
  • Incentive Stock Option Programs
  • Split–ups or Spin Offs

To perform a business valuation, the valuator has to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the business operations and the purpose of the valuation. There are many “rule of thumb” approaches to business valuations; however, these often result in wrong or misleading valuations.  Marien + Company will provide valuations based on a scientific approach of current valuation theory and standards.

We routinely provide calculations to clients on the value of their business. This is an “informal” presentation intended to assist the owners in making business decisions.

In some situations, such as estate and litigation matters, a formal report is required. This type of extensive reporting provides a Conclusion of Value that can be defended in court.
