When Should You Hire Business Valuation Services?

A business valuation or business appraisal is the independent and unbiased process of determining a supportable opinion of the value of a business, business ownership interest, security, or intangible asset as of a specified date. A valuation report or appraisal report is an important part of running a business and can be indispensable in key situations.

As a business owner, you’ll need an accurate business valuation or appraisal if you’re selling or transferring ownership of your business. A valuation will also prove crucial when planning your exit strategy. In some cases, a valuation or appraisal may be required by law in cases of litigation or taxation. Valuations can also be required by financers, insurers, and other third parties.
