Overall, there are a handful of common reasons why business owners need to evaluate the worth of their company:

​

• When looking to sell your business

• When looking to merge or acquire another company

• When looking for business financing or investors

• When establishing partner ownership percentages

• When adding shareholders

• For divorce proceedings

• For certain tax purposes

 

WHAT IS MY BUSINESS WORTH?

Circumstances such as health issues, personal situations, retirement, expansion or accruing investors can force an owner to exit their business. Knowing the value of your business and what you can do to increase that value is paramount knowledge. If any of these issues happened today are you prepared? Do you know what your business is worth?

It is very important to obtain an accurate business valuation assessment.

Estimates are not acceptable as it is a generalization. Specific numbers need to be gained from a valuation process so business owners can obtain proper insurance coverage, know how much to reinvest into the company and to determine the accurate value of the business.

 

VALUATION

Businesses have plenty of reasons for considering a business valuation⎯⎯business consultants can help you save time and money, provide specialized advice, and plan for the future, among other things. Our consultants are more like mentors and advisors, who work with business owners on broad planning and strategy work. Others provide more specific, specialized services, as subcontractors. According to Forbes, "rather than hiring for a position that may be just part-time, like a marketing strategist, incentive specialist or legal counsel, instead, consider retaining a consultant that is an expert in their field".

 

UNDERSTANDING THE COMPANY’S RESALE VALUE

Knowing the true value of your company is necessary. Every business owner has contemplated selling their company. Knowing the value and what could be done to increase the value should be started long before the business goes on the market. A company’s resell value can help negotiate a higher selling price. Determine your business value two to four years prior to sale.
