Fair Market Valuation

When business owners find themselves in a litigated dispute where the central issue involves an ownership interest in a closely held entity, an analysis to determine fair market valuation is a must. The process for creating a fair market valuation is to understand the nature of the business through management interviews, review of legal and corporate documents, a financial analysis of historical balance sheets and income statements, industry research, economic research and similar market transaction research.

As we determine the drivers and limitations of value and detail the various valuation analyses used, we can offer a fair market value opinion that may be used to effectively support or resolve a litigated dispute. Our experience in tax, accounting and business transactions spanning hundreds of industries ensures an accurate and defendable work product.
