A professional valuation provides a company with the necessary foundation needed to contemplate an acquisition, divestiture, capital event or other purposes such as estate planning and minority partner interest. A thorough, well-defended valuation can often prove invaluable as a performance enhancement tool for a company as it typically identifies strengths and weaknesses and may go so far as to help quantify the impact of the business's value drivers.

Our valuations have been utilized by owners and management for:

• M&A and Divestitures
• Financing
• Strategic Planning
• Competitive Comparisons
• Litigation
• Tax Planning
• Financial Reporting
• Minority Interest Value for Estate Planning Purposes

The valuation process we use is very thorough. Market transactions, both private and public, are thoroughly researched. The business's present condition and especially its financial outlook are strongly considered against the backdrop of its industry and the economy in general. Accordingly, the company's historical financials are adjusted where appropriate and projections are developed that reflect earnings capacity given the adjustments and business outlook.
