Numerous factors go into determining the current value of your business. The information provided by a business valuation can support negotiations when prepared and documented properly, for the purchase or sale - or better position the company for a sale down the road.
Sound business principles and strategies can be applied, but the key issues often lie behind the numbers.
Determining Value
A business valuation is needed to determine the appropriate value of a business, or personal assets. There are many different approaches that can be utilized to determine the value of a business. Value can be expressed in terms of fair value, fair market value or investment value.
