Business Valuations

Business valuations serve many functions, but primarily to facilitate an agreement between the buyers and sellers of a business entity. The valuation serves as an objective starting point for negotiations as to the value of the entity. Employing contemporary valuation techniques, each party can view a firm’s value drivers in a manner that is understood by both buyer and seller. Business valuations can also be used when raising debt and equity capital, as well as for employee compensation matters involving equity participation.
