Charleston Business Valuations
Charleston and West Virginia business owners will only need a business valuation just a few times throughout the span of their career. For most, it is needed when a transaction is scheduled to occur and an independent assessment of a company’s value is required. However, a valuation can also provide essential insights to ownership before placing the business for sale. Important information about the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities (both operationally and in the marketplace) provides key details on how to maximize value. This allows critical changes to be made that can positively impact sales prices.
Beyond transactions, there are several other situations in which a valuation may be required. Attorneys often need to understand the value of an asset involved in commercial litigation, marital disputes, and other court proceedings. Outside of the courtroom, a valuation is often needed for tax reporting, estate planning, charitable gifts, and partnership agreements. Regardless of the reason, it is essential to engage with a seasoned provider with the requisite experience to meet your needs.
