How Much Is It Worth?
Are you planning to sell or acquire a business? Have you recently established an employee stock ownership plan? Are you preparing to gift shares of your company's stock to your children?

The need for business valuations can arise for many reasons. They often involve assessing the value of complex financial instruments, goodwill, intellectual property and other important business assets. In recent years several trends have led to a greater need for valuations prepared by experts: · The IRS is scrutinizing more valuations prepared for gift, estate and other tax purposes;
· Shareholders are more frequently challenging management-prepared valuations in buy-outs;
· Courts are demanding valuations prepared by professionals who are certified in business valuations.
