Business Valuation

Valuing a privately held business or business interest requires specialized skills, experience and relevant credentials from business valuation organizations. Our department distinguishes itself in each of these areas. Each year, we collectively receive hundreds of hours of relevant training to maintain our position on the cutting edge of our profession. With over 90 years of combined business valuation experience, we offer expertise across a wide variety of industries and valuation disciplines. Together, we hold credentials issued by the leading business valuation organizations that help to establish us as Qualified Appraisers in compliance with IRS requirements.

Gone are the days of simplistic analyses based on rules of thumb withstanding the scrutiny of litigation or the IRS. Rules of thumb are rarely applicable to a specific business with its unique risks and financial attributes. Our valuations incorporate a thorough analysis of the business in question and also examine the industry and economy in which the business operates by considering factors such as company risk profile, financial trends, cost of capital, capital structure, future growth, product mix, customer concentrations, profitability, and sustainable growth. When necessary, we perform detailed analyses to determine appropriate discounts for lack of marketability and control. We utilize the leading methods within the profession to arrive at our discounts for marketability and control which enhances the credibility of our business valuations in litigation and before the IRS.
