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.

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:

- Buy-sell agreements
- Shareholders disputes
- Succession planning
- Financing
- Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPS)
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.
