| A
business valuation engagement provides an opinion regarding the estimated value
of a business ownership interest. The overall value can be influenced
by timing and conditions not under the control of the buyer or seller. Various
factors are given consideration including industry and economic factors, current
financial results, future operating outlook and earning capacity. Appropriate
methodologies are then assessed and applied as part of the valuation process.
Our clients use business valuations for various purposes. This includes determining the potential sale price of a company, setting insurance levels, updating buy/sell agreements, settling divorce proceedings or supporting litigation needs. The results of the valuation can also be used for tax and estate planning or gifting purposes to develop a strategic plan to increase the value of the business. We focus on all of the elements necessary to provide a fair and reasonable business valuation to accomplish the objective of the engagement. Our professionals have experience in this area including Dirk Ahlbeck, who is qualified as a Certified Valuation Analyst, a specialist in business valuation services. A business valuation often addresses a current need regarding estate planning or a buy/sell agreement, but the potential goes even further. A valuation engagement can identify business elements that need improvement, providing the owners with the ability to address these issues now to achieve a higher sales price at a future point. At Ahlbeck & Company, we understand that a business valuation can be the most important step you take in planning the future course of your business. |
