Business Valuation

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 planning your exit strategy. In some cases, valuation or appraisal may be required by law in cases of litigation or taxation. Valuations can also be required by financiers, insurers, and other third parties.
