Many business people have never determined the true worth of their business. They may only have an idea of the book value. Business or share valuations are essential in assessing the worth of one's investments. This is an area of specialist expertise with which the WHK team can assist you.
Independent and objective business valuations are essential when:
- Buying a Business
Obtaining an independent valuation on a business will assist you to determine a realistic purchase price. - Raising Capital
When you are seeking additional capital in the market place, it is highly likely that the potential investors will be assessing the value of their proposed investment. They will require valuation evidence to support your offering. - Restructuring
Transferring shares to a family trust can provide various asset planning and taxation advantages. Shares must be transferred at market value which is determined through share valuation. - Retirement
When a business partner is retiring from the business or leaving under a pre-emptive right agreement, independent valuation can be useful in assessing fair value of the shares to be transferred. - Selling a Business
If you are selling your business, you need to know what it is worth so you can position it to obtain the best price. - Relationship Property
A valuation is often essential for settling relationship property agreements.
