When Should You Get a Business Valuation?
A business valuation is more than a financial snapshot; it’s a critical decision-making tool. Business owners in Tampa Bay rely on valuations in the following situations:
- Selling your business or transferring ownership
- Planning your exit strategy or retirement
- Applying for a loan or line of credit
- Facing divorce, litigation, or shareholder disputes
- Drafting buy/sell agreements or ESOPs
- Creating succession plans or partnership agreements
- Evaluating for gift and estate tax planning
- Restructuring your business or attracting investors
Whether you’re asking, “How do I value my business?” or need a certified report for legal purposes, our process ensures you receive an accurate, fair assessment of your company’s value.
Types of Valuation Services We Offer
1. Broker Opinion of Value (BOV)
Ideal for business owners considering a sale, our BOV estimates what your business could sell for on the open market. This report analyzes earnings, balance sheet health, future cash flows, and industry benchmarks to determine market value.
2. Formal Business Appraisal
Required for legal or tax matters, this USPAP-compliant valuation is a comprehensive report that meets standards set by the Appraisal Foundation and the Institute of Business Appraisers. It uses accepted business valuation methods, including:
- Asset-based valuation
- Income approach (future cash flows)
- Market approach (revenue multiples and industry comparables)
3. Consulting Reports
Not every situation requires a formal appraisal. Our consulting reports are ideal for internal planning, partner negotiations, or when evaluating potential acquisition targets.
