Business Valuation

Business valuation is a process and a set of procedures used to estimate the economic value of an owner’s interest in a business.  Valuation is used by financial market participants to determine the price they are willing to pay or receive to consummate a sale of a business.  Berger, Macdonald & Rand LLP has the experience and knowledge to provide you with an accurate valuation of your company.

In addition to estimating the selling price of a business, the same valuation tools are often used by business appraisers to resolve disputes related to estate and gift taxation, divorce litigation, allocate business purchase price among business assets, establish a formula for estimating the value of partners' ownership interest for buy-sell agreements, and many other business and legal purposes.
