How to Determine What Your Business Is Worth
There are many reasons to have an up-to-date business valuation or valuation of equity shares. For example:
- Litigation or negotiation
- Estate and tax planning
- Transition planning including Business investments, acquisitions and divestitures
- Shareholder agreements & disputes
- Matrimonial disputes
- Internal use
- Valuing intangible assets
Regardless of the reason, how much your business is worth depends on many factors, from the current state of the economy through your business’s balance sheet. If for example, similar businesses in your area have recently sold, the value of your business will be determined in large part by the selling price of the previous sales.
