Business Valuation

Every smart business person knows the importance of being able to present a fair and accurate accounting of their businesses' value. It is particularly important when attempting to sell a business.
This business valuation document is the single most useful piece of financial information about any business. It has many purposes and can be used to:

Prove the Fair Market Value of your business
Provide Information to lending institutions for a business loan
Validate information for a Merger, Acquisition or Stock Offering
Create a succession plan or a trust
Develop an estate plan or tax plan to protect wealth
To determine the value of assets and liabilities
For the creation of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

To know why it's so important to have a business valuation you must understand that the book value reflected on the financial statements of a business usually differs vastly from its true market value.

Without a new business valuation, a business owner must be prepared to defend his opinion of value. For instance, any potential buyer will place little credibility in a value arrived at by an owners accountant. Therefore, a properly prepared business valuation report by a business valuation expert would become the best tool usable to obtain maximum selling price.

When you work with a VR Intermediary to create a valuation report, the goal is a simple one, the creation of an accurate and comprehensive document that will stand up to scrutiny.

VR sells 86% of all businesses that agree to a third party independent business valuation.
