Valuation Services

Have you ever been asked the value of your business?

If you are the owner of a closely held business, you may have been confronted with the need to value your ownership interest for purposes such as estate planning, financing, buy/sell agreements, acquisitions, and divorce. However, you may not know the value of this interest because the security is not traded on a public exchange. Since you may have invested significant time and effort in building your business and its value may be your most valuable asset, you should hire a specialist in business valuation who possesses the requisite expertise and experience.
