Business Valuation

Business valuation is the process of determining the value of a business enterprise or interest in a business. It's not just a simple appraisal of the underlying assets. It actually requires both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the business, considering financial performance, the economy, and industry forecasts in determining value.  In our business valuation process, we review detailed information about the business, its industry, management, competition, finances, operating conditions and prospects for the future to reach a conclusion of value. Our business valuation process brings an independent perspective.

Our business valuation team is comprised of highly qualified, well-trained professionals who are versed in valuation theory, applicable laws, regulations and case law pertinent to valuation issues. Our professionals have prepared valuations for firms in many industries with sales ranging from under $1 million to over $1 billion. We perform business valuations for purposes including succession planning, mergers and acquisitions, employee stock ownership plans, and litigation consulting engagements.

The business valuation opinions rendered by Apple Growth Partners are performed in accordance with required standards of professional practice. Members of the team carry Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Juris Doctorate (JD) and Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) designations among others.
