Top 10 Reasons to Get a Valuation
eBusinessAppraisals.com offers the following tips for undergoing a business valuation assessment:
1. Identify Opportunities - A business valuation identifies areas of opportunities and threats that can increase or decrease your company’s revenue, or value. This is also crucial if you’re going to sell a business.
2. Prepare Financial Records - For the results to be as precise as possible, a business valuation necessitates the review of your financial books and documents.

A business valuation then obliges you to keep a record of substantial documents relating to the value of your business. Read more

Why an Annual Valuation is Necessary
Ask the owner of a privately-held business about what the value of his company is, and chances are he would give you an abstract answer, or an inflated and exaggerated figure- both taking into account all the sacrifices and hard work he has put in to build the company.

They can be easily swept away by the sentimental component of building the business.

Knowing your Intangible Assets
There is an old saying in middle-market investment banking: “Strategic buyers rarely buy what the sellers think they are selling…”
This means that unless you understand what buyers will find attractive about your company beyond EBITDA, you may not understand the full value of your company to specific buyers. Because of this, if you have decided to sell your company on your own, it is vital that you clearly understand and document your intangible assets.
