How Much is Your Business Worth
A complicated question—but the answer is important. Whether you’re contemplating a generational transfer, taking on a new partner or drafting a buy/sell agreement, business valuation is critical. Your business is probably one of your most significant assets, and it’s imperative that you understand its value.
Why is it Necessary to Know the Value of Your Business?
How can you benefit from a professionally prepared valuation?

- A valuation is a critical component of corporate and partnership agreements in determining buy/sell and retirement provisions
