Whether you are approaching retirement, looking for new challenges, or pursuing a merger to strengthen your market position, our team equips you with the insights you need to confidently enter the next chapter.
Understanding Business Valuation Services
It is critical for business owners to know the true value of their company. Our business valuation services give you the data-driven insights you need to:
- Assess your financial health: Our business valuation team will take a deep dive into your financials and operations to gain a clear picture of your company's true worth.
- Identify future growth opportunities: We uncover inefficiencies while identifying hidden opportunities that drive value and ensure your company reaches its full potential.
- Understand your market position: Want to know how you stack up against the competition? Our business valuation services will tell you.
- Exit, merge, or grow: Whether you are just starting to explore a sale, ready for retirement, or looking for new opportunities, our business valuation team will meet you where you are to take you where you want to go.
Our Valuation Services
To meet your needs, we offer comprehensive business valuation services that include:
- Complementary Value Assessment - For business owners considering sales in the next two years.
- Business Price Opinion - Ideal for those with indefinite sales timelines who need accurate valuations for internal planning, transactions, or strategic growth decisions.
- Compass Exit Opinion™ - Our premier service, designed for larger companies anticipating sophisticated transactions in the merger and acquisitions markets.
Complimentary Value Assessment
Our preliminary assessment gives business owners a foundational understanding of their company's market position. During this process, our team will uncover your business's unique strengths while identifying hidden potential that could strengthen your position when you enter the market.
Business Price Opinion
For business owners who are not seeking to sell in the next year or two, there is still value in understanding current market value.
Business owners often require valuation services for a variety of other business needs. These include determining values for partner buyouts, family or estate and financial planning, or divorce settlements. Our clients have also found the Price Opinion useful in determining life insurance needs, internal ownership planning, and benchmarking business value for exit planning.
For a fee that is far less than a formal certified valuation, our M&A Advisors will perform a limited financial analysis and provide a written report on a market-based analysis of the most likely price for a company.
To learn more about whether the Business Price Opinion is right for your valuation needs, contact Len Washko, Business Price Opinion Advisor.
