A business valuation involves determining the fair market value of a company at a specific point in time, using recognized financial methods. It considers various factors such as financial statements, market conditions, growth prospects, industry sector, and more.
Valuation is crucial for making informed decisions in various contexts: buying or selling, transferring to a family member or employee, divorce, shareholder disputes, tax reorganizations, or succession planning. It helps secure transactions and reduce legal or tax risks.
