Business Valuations (BV)
Going-concern Valuations are Our Specialty
We apply deep business analysis and advanced statistical techniques to the valuation of operating businesses, usually using the Income Approach.
There are three excellent reasons for using the Income Approach in business valuations:
1. This is the way that most investors and buyers evaluate prospective acquisitions.
2. This is the approach that the IRS and most state revenue departments recommend.
3. Many legal jurisdictions prefer the Income Approach.
Business Analytics (BA)
Improving Operating Margins and Building Firm Value
It’s common for businesses to encounter shrinking operating margins as they grow and mature, and it’s not uncommon that owners and managers are not sure what causes this condition. Left unaddressed, margin deterioration will decrease cash flow and diminish a business’s value.
Our Business Analytics group can explore and uncover the areas for improvement and recommend ameliorative actions. If properly implemented, these improvements can lead to higher business valuations.
Our Analytical Universe
Our analyses typically occur where Finance, Statistics, and Economics intersect. The outer cycle of human activities shows the iterative steps that produce better understanding, improved performance, or greater value.
Depending upon the nature of the engagement, and in response to questions about a business problem or individual issue, we analyze available data and conduct subject matter expert (SME) interviews whenever appropriate.
We help formulate plans and objectives, and we assist with their implementation. Finally, we evaluate the outcomes, which can lead us to more questions and a new cycle. Each of the cycle’s rotations advances understanding, performance, or value.

From The Founder
“I’m planning my retirement, and selling my business will provide a large part of my retirement funds. How much can I expect to receive for it?”
“My company’s sales increase every year, but the revenue growth does not translate to the bottom line. What’s causing this, and can I fix it?”
“An advisor recommends that I invest in a private equity fund. Does it make sense, and what should I consider in making a decision?”
Clients come to us with these and similar questions every day, and we provide the analyses and answers that help them make the best decisions. In nearly every case, uncertainty is the root issue, which means risk. While no one can eliminate all risks, we can quantify them – produce estimates of their magnitude and the likelihoods of their occurrence – so that you can formulate appropriate plans and strategies to achieve your goals.
With our affiliated network of business brokers, attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, and other professionals, we can assist in making your future a bit
more certain.
