Standards-Based Analysis
When is a Business Valuation Needed?
Divorce and Litigation Matters
A business ownership interest may represent one of the most significant assets in a
divorce or legal dispute. A well-supported valuation can help the parties and their
attorneys understand the value of the business or ownership interest involved.
Estate and Succession Planning
A business valuation may be needed when planning an ownership transition,
transferring a business to the next generation, making gifts, or addressing other estate-
planning matters.
Buying or Selling a Business
Whether you are considering a purchase or preparing for a sale, a business valuation
can provide important information for evaluating the proposed price, transaction terms,
and financial risks.
Ownership Transfers and Buyouts
Valuation services may be appropriate for shareholder or partner buyouts, internal
ownership transfers, buy-sell agreements, and other changes in business ownership.
Business Valuation and Consulting Services
Not every situation requires the same type or level of valuation service. The appropriate
scope depends on the purpose of the engagement, intended use, standard of value,
and reporting requirements.
Services may include:
• Conclusion of value engagements
• Calculation of value engagements
• Business valuation consulting
• Financial statement and normalization analysis
• Ownership-interest and transaction analysis
• Litigation support
We work with clients and their professional advisors to determine the appropriate scope
for each engagement.
