Business Valuation & Appraisal Services
What is a Business Valuation Service?
A business valuation is an independent and unbiased process of determining a supportable opinion of the value of a business, business ownership interest, securities or intangible assets as of a specified date. It is an estimate with extensive knowledge of the fair market value of a company. This is what someone would pay for your company if they wanted to buy it from you.
What is a Business Appraisal?
A business appraisal, on the other hand, is an estimate of what someone would be willing to pay for your company in the current market. It reflects only what buyers are currently willing to pay for businesses like yours.
