Knowing the value of a business has significant benefits in the finance, insurance, succession and income tax areas as well as in buy/sell transactions.

Top 10 Reasons to Know the Value of Your Business

1. Are you considering buying or selling a business? We can calculate a reasonable value of the business for a starting point in negotiations. We can work with you in making an offer to buy a business or evaluate an offer received to sell your business and the subsequent negotiations.

2. Have you considered the value of your business as an important tool in your strategic plan at all stages of the business life cycle? We can calculate the current value of your business and then consult in enhancing the value of your business to achieve the target identified in your strategic plan.
