Business Valuation

One of the first projects of your succession plan is a business valuation. Whether the future of your business involves a sale, merger, ESOP or family transfer, a business valuation is critical in determining when and how your succession plan proceeds based on the value derived. The business valuation is also a key component in estate and financial planning for business owners.

Our business valuation process entails both quantitative and qualitative analyses 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.

As a client, you will establish a close working relationship with our dedicated business valuation professionals. We provide high quality service delivered in a timely and responsive manner. We will communicate with you and will always be accessible throughout the business valuation process. Should the need arise, our team is qualified to provide litigation consulting services concerning the valuation. We are also happy to present our valuation to your board of directors, financial advisors, counsel, ESOP committee, or other representatives.

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. 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), Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) and Accredited Valuation Analyst (AVA) designations.
