Business Valuations

At the very core of FINH’s service offerings are Business Valuations. A business valuation is not just for a business owner preparing for a sale. There are, in fact, numerous business and legal situations that require a detailed valuation.

A Business Valuation may be needed when:

• A business-owner is considering a merger, sale or acquisition,
• A shareholder wishes to buy-out other shareholders.
• The business needs to determining capital gains
• There is a Shareholder dispute
• There is a family law dispute
• There are breach of contract disputes

Business valuations are also an important part of facilitating family succession and generational transfer of business wealth.

Also in terms of setting strategic intent, a high level valuation can help identify what's needed to increase the value of the business or attract new capital.
