Divorce Proceedings/Settlement Options

In a divorce situation the business is often the most valuable asset in the marital estate. Whether you are the “in” spouse involved in the business or the “out” spouse, a valuation is an integral part of the divorce proceedings to ensure an equitable division of assets.

Buy/Sell Agreements

Proper planning and proper installation of a buy/sell agreement is essential for the future well-being of your business and your family. Our valuation team can work with you and your attorney to develop appropriate values and/or provisions for use in your buy/sell agreement.

Litigation Support/Dispute Resolution

A properly prepared business valuation can prove extremely helpful in legal disputes, including the following situations:

Divorce proceedings
Shareholder/partner disputes
Economic damages/lost profits
Liquidations

Sale of a Business

Whether a business is to be sold to a relative, employee or an outside party, a range of value should be established to determine a fair selling price, as well as to take advantage of tax-free transactions.

Estate and Succession Planning/Family Limited Partnerships

Knowledge of the value of a business is crucial to effective estate/succession planning. Proper planning ensures the future distribution of the business assets has minimal tax consequences and prevents a liquidation of the company. Additionally, a supportable valuation is essential in establishing value for estate or gift tax purposes.

Shareholder/Partner Disputes

In contentious situations, it can be beneficial to have a neutral third party help you determine the value of the business. A valuation team with solid valuation expertise can help assure you that the dispute is being settled fairly.

Shareholder and Business Planning

When it comes to corporate planning, it is imperative for business owners to know the company’s value. This is especially important in the following situations:

Establishing value for purchases and sales of stock
Preventing shareholder disputes
Determining appropriate levels of life insurance
Corporate Reorganizations

Purchasing a Business

Are you looking to purchase a business? A valuation is crucial to determining the businesses value and identifying items that will affect its future earning potential.
