Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key components of my Business Valuation Report?
A comprehensive Business Valuation Report typically includes a cover page, valuation summary, table of contents, executive summary, economic and industry outlook sections, business overview, cost of capital analysis, discounts & premiums explanation, conclusion of value, and appendixes with supporting documents. The report follows established guidelines set by professional organizations and provides a detailed breakdown of how your business value was determined.
Q. What valuation methods will be used to determine my business's value?
Your business value will be determined using one or more of these standard approaches:
Income Approach: Evaluates your company's future earnings or cash flow generation capabilities
Market Approach: Compares your business to similar companies that have been sold or are publicly traded
Asset Approach: Analyzes your balance sheet, adjusts assets and liabilities to current fair market values
Combined Approaches: Sometimes multiple methods are used together to arrive at the most accurate valuation
Q. Will my business valuation include any value adjustments or discounts?
Yes, depending on your specific situation, your valuation may include adjustments such as:
Lack of Control Discount: Applied to minority interests with limited decision-making power
Marketability Discount: Reflects the difficulty in selling interests in privately-held companies
Other potential factors affecting value include buy-sell agreements, company specialization, multiple owners, and company size
Q. How does the business valuation process begin and what information will I need to provide?
To initiate your business valuation, you'll need to provide:
Your latest three full years of company tax returns
A copy of your buy-sell agreement (if you have one)
