Description

Few things are more important to business owners than the value of their business. The valuation you get for your business can make or break a proposition. Whether you're negotiating a merger, considering new shareholders, attempting to resolve disputes associated with liability, shareholder equity, estate planning or marital dissolution, objective valuation can make the difference between loss or gain, success or failure. Business valuation is not an exact science. It's based on judgment, experience and relevant information.

Stockholders, creditors, and private investors often need assurance that the financial statements accurately represent the true financial position of a company. Your stockholders, creditors, or private investors have different levels of risk tolerance, so we provide three levels of assurance to meet your needs.

You get the highest level of assurance because we go outside your company to obtain more information. Typically, we'll have written communication with: Your customers, to check outstanding receivable balances, Your banks, to confirm cash or debt balances and terms, Your vendors, to verify outstanding payable balances, and Your attorneys, for information on pending or threatened legal action. We also perform physical inspections by observing your inventory counting methods and perform test counts.

We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those members of our firm who need to know that information to provide services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information. Online information is stored on secure servers located in CPA Website Solutions SAS-70 certified datacenters. If you have any questions about this policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Include salaries, utilities, office supplies, loan payments, taxes, legal services and insurance premiums, and don't forget to include your normal living expenses. Your business must not only meet its own needs, but make sure it meets yours as well.
