Determining the value of a closely-held business can be important for tax, business and personal reasons.  Investors in private companies face the challenge of establishing accurate business value because there is rarely an established market for these business interests.

What can happen if you overvalue a business? 
• You might overpay for the business
• You could pay excessive tax on a business transfer

What can happen if you undervalue a business?
• As a business owner, you could sell too low
• Incur unforeseen costs if income tax assessed on audit

These are some of the many compelling reasons to work with our accredited valuation experts who can prepare objective, professional business valuations.
