determing your market value
how much is your company worth
Do you know the true market value of your business? What would be your asking price if a buyer knocked on your door today?
Too often businesses use financial statements prepared for tax purposes as a starting point for determining value. Assets are written off rather than capitalized. Profits are minimized to reduce taxes. And tax allowances are taken to reduce asset or market value.
A professional valuation reflects the "Fair Market Value" of a business by recasting depreciated assets and cash flow in today's market. Placing the right value on your business is essential if you need to:
- sell your business at its fair market value
- provide a lender with Fair Market Value information to "pre-qualify" the buyer
- plan for a merger, acquisition or stock offering
- develop an estate or tax plan
- other: see valuation services
The Novars Group recommends that all sellers, prospective or active, complete a preliminary business valuation prior to listing their business for sale. The firm's methodology has been developed over the years by analyzing valuations from similar like-businesses.
And if you require a licensed valuation (for estate and other purposes), we have partnered with an independent, third party Valuation Team who has assisted business owners nationwide. A professional valuation can play a key role in helping you maximize the value of your business.
