Establishing value is critical for a business sale, a merger/acquisition, or for a buy/sell agreement.  Business and marital dissolutions, legal actions, estate planning and shareholder disputes are among the varied and complex reasons companies and individuals require professional valuation and litigation services, including expert testimony.

A business valuation is a unique combination of art and science and should not be reduced to the use of a calculator and a table of figures.  Isolated financial ratios represent only a glimpse into an entity’s value; it ignores business and other related information that could influence the company’s value, such as relative performance, growth prospects, and competitive advantages to name a few.  A comprehensive appraisal may use multiple approaches and will purposely include the owner and management team’s knowledge in order to take into account all of the unique factors relevant to the business.
