A business valuation is a professional exchange of information. Professional confidentiality during a professional business valuation should be understood and foundational throughout the business valuation process.
The foundations of business valuation understanding are the ability to discern how a business cultivates best practices and deploys its investments in order to drive returns and future earnings. The procedure of business valuations does not follow a single path, but rather many paths that vary by business industry.
Knowing the value of your business is the first and best step to take when considering the sale of your business. Many business owners that we meet with have somewhere between 80-90% of their personal net worth tied up in one asset: the company they own.
