Benefits of a Professional Business Valuation
Depending
on your individual circumstances, needs and objectives, a business valuation
can benefit you by providing:
|
|
|
|
| • A Qualified Estimate of Fair Market Value - Book value or investment value can be vastly different from the true market value. |
| • Expert Valuation - You can have confidence that the valuation is thorough and complies with accepted standard of professional practice. |
| • Qualifications of the Analyst/Valuator - Membership in NACVA provides added assurances that the valuation analyst meets high professional standards and recognizes the need for specialized valuation knowledge and training as a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) or Valuation Analyst (VA). |
| • Confidentiality - Protect your personal and business interests. |
| • Potential Litigation - A complete and thorough valuation reduces questions and ambiguities which will minimize exposure to legal repercussions. |
| • Third Party Objectivity - Most business valuation problems arise from questions of independence and credibility when performed by biassed advisors, and where personal and emotional issues influence decisions. The Business Valuator, CPA, is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards ensuring an objective valuation. |
