Who We Are
Our team of Valuation experts, which includes 3 CPAs, has been producing accredited or certified business valuations for over 31 years for IRS reporting purposes, corporate stock option plans, employee stock ownership plans, M&A activities, divorce cases, partnership disputes, and transfers of intellectual property. Our seasoned professionals have the official credentials, education, and experience needed for such critical assignments. The extensive reports we produce are typically 70‐90 pages long; they generally cost $5,700‐$9,700 and take weeks to prepare. You get the same experts creating your ValuePlan in a trimmed-down format.
The Value Plan Alternative
The Value Plan is much like our extensive business valuation report, but almost all the overhead is eliminated. It uses the same valuation methods and relies on the same market data, but it’s stripped‐down, agile, flexible, and much less expensive to produce. It’s very brief and easy to read ‐ think of a speedboat next to an ocean liner.
When to Use Value Plan
- Buy‐Sell Agreements
- Share Pricing for New Investors
- Retiring Shareholders
- Exit Planning
- Estate and Gift Planning
- Value‐testing Acquisition Offers
- Testing Company Growth Plans
Benefits
There are many benefits to a business owner, but the most important are:
- Thorough, broad‐spectrum analysis of value in 8‐17 pages.
- Ease of experimenting with different assumptions.
- Aid in identifying factors to increase value.
- Low cost with a quick turnaround‐ starting at $2,500.
How It Works
We need a certain amount of information about the business to do this. The steps are:
- A Value Consultant will talk with you about what meets your needs and the information we need.
- We use financial statements and market data, and we run financial projections for the next five years, to get a measure of your company’s expected revenue, earnings, and cash flows.
- We run several valuation methods and pick the best for your specific situation and industry.
- Our team then sends you a draft report by email.
- You and your advisors can review the analysis, and we can discuss the results. You may have changes or additional information.
Note: If you use the Value Plan but subsequently need a full‐scale report, we will apply up to half of the Value Plan cost to the formal valuation report depending on the situation and the age of the data.
When Not to Use Value Plan
The Value Plan may not be the best choice in some situations. Agencies like the IRS, SEC, DOL, courts, and most banks will require a full‐scale formal business valuation report. However, there are exceptions that we are happy to discuss.
