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
|
|
- Bankruptcy and Foreclosure
|
- Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Franchise Valuation or Evaluation
|
- Liquidation or Reorganization
|
|
|
|
- Sale or Purchase of a Business
|
- Incentive Stock Option Programs
|
|
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.
