Inaccurate business valuations can lead to ill-informed decisions and may even doom a business in the long-term.

What Is Business Valuation?

Business valuation, in layman’s terms, is simply determining the value of a business using a variety of factors like market share and value of assets. There are many metrics by which companies can be valued, which can all be used to paint a clear picture of the business. Contrary to popular belief, business valuation is an important tool not only for selling the company but for a variety of business-related tasks and decisions. To that end, we use our analysis techniques to help business owners navigate those tasks and decisions to find the most success.

Pros Of Expert Valuation

In addition to determining how much to sell a business for, all of the below situations are aided by an accurate valuation of the company:

Estate and gift tax return compliance
Tax planning/compliance
Insurance purposes
Divorce litigation
Litigation, fraud, and forensic accounting
Buy-sell agreements
Shareholders disputes
Succession planning
Financing
Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPS)

These are just a few of the business situations where a good valuation is helpful or even crucial to success. For decades, our CPAs have worked with dozens of industries, mastering the craft of business valuation and fostering long-term relationships with our clients.

How We Approach Valuation

Determining the value of a business is typically done using three main metrics: assets, earnings, and market share/influence.

Asset-based valuation most often takes the value of all the capital owned by the company and subtracts the liabilities from that total. Earnings-based valuation takes into account the past earnings of a company as well as projected future earnings to estimate value, often for investors. Market valuation uses the value of similar companies in similar markets to determine the value of the business being evaluated. We utilize all of these approaches to determine the most accurate value of businesses.

Business valuation is as much an art as it is a science. Sovereign CPA has provided accurate and timely valuations for clients in Birmingham and beyond.
