BUSINESS MARKET VALUE APPRAISAL

It is necessary to evaluate the market value of a business when undertaking an acquisition, the sale or the reorganization of a company. Only a Certified Business Appraiser can calculate an exact and authentic business market value.

Based on financial and non-financial variables that are unique to each company, an accurate market value appraisal can only be determined by an expert Business Valuator. An accurate market value of your business is very important in developing a stable and objective structure of your business project and for all concerned stakeholders such as buyers, sellers, external financiers, governments for taxation purposes, and shareholders concerned with applicable value minority or majority adjustments.

Determining the exact market value of a company is not a simple task: there is no simple method that can be applied to all types of companies. There are in fact several evaluation methods which can be used alone or in combination, depending on the business to be valued. A certified Business Value Appraiser is the only expert who can identify and correctly measure the variables which are specific to a company in the appraisal of its business market value.
