Valuation: An independent, professional valuation of your business is critical decision input for business owners exploring options, as well as buyers and sellers. Our experienced team can reduce your uncertainty by providing an objective Fair Market Valuation prepared by a professional with an industry-standard credential.
Management Consulting: We can further develop practical strategies to increase the market value of your business and to improve operations. The scale of project can be tailored to individual client needs. Our signature service creates a quantitative simulation environment of your business operation to allow competing business strategies to be cast as financial instruments (e.g., having a cost and various possible payoffs under specific conditions). This enables us to bring the heavy machinery of financial valuation techniques and actuarial methods to bear against your company's complex problems. The simulation also delivers to management a planning and war-gaming tool, offering a chessboard perspective of the business.
IRS Ruling 59-60 defines fair market value as “the price, expressed in terms of cash equivalents, at which property would change hands between a hypothetical willing and able buyer and a hypothetical willing and able seller, acting at arm’s length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and when both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.” This is the standard to which we prepare valuations for most situations.
