An inaccurate value determination, regardless of whether it is high or low, can lead to disastrous consequences. For instance, if the value is too high, estate taxes will be too high.  If the value is too low and you are trying to sell your business, savvy prospective buyers will recognize it and take advantage.  Or, if going through a dispute or divorce, you certainly want to know you are receiving an accurate value for your interest. A Business Valuation conducted by a certified professional serves as a protection for the business owner.

A true Business Valuation is a complex formula of calculations including an analysis of both tangible and intangible assets, company strengths, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, the competitive environment, overall expectations for the marketplace, future economic prospects for the industry and the economy in the region as a whole.
