Every smart business person knows the importance
of being able to present a fair and accurate accounting
of a businesses' value. It is particularly important when
attempting to sell a business. This valuation document
is the single most useful piece of financial information
about any business.
A valuation has many purposes and can be used to:
Prove the Fair Market Value of your business
Provide Information to lending institutions for a business
loan
Validate information for a Merger, Acquisition or Stock
Offering
Create a succession plan or a trust
Develop an estate plan or tax plan to protect wealth
To determine the value of assets and liabilities
For the creation of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP)
To know why it's so important to have a valuation you
must understand that the book value reflected on the
financial statements of a business usually differs vastly
from its true market value.
Without a new valuation, a business owner must be prepared
to defend his opinion of value. For instance, any potential
buyer will place little credibility in a value arrived
at by an owners accountant. Therefore, a properly
prepared valuation report by a valuation expert would
become the best tool usable to obtain maximum selling
price.
When you work with a VR Intermediary to create a valuation
report, the goal is a simple one: the creation of an
accurate and comprehensive document that will stand
up to scrutiny.
For larger businesses, VR has established relationships
in place with accredited firms whose valuations are
accepted by 95% of all SBA lenders in the country. Using
third party valuations make purchase price a small part
of negotiations and put the emphasis on agreements to
other terms & conditions of the transaction. VR
sells 86% of all businesses that agree to a third party
independent valuation. VR's depth of experience coupled
with a vast knowledge of valuation methods will result
in an expert opinion of value, delivered in a responsive,
timely and efficient manner. VR has valued and sold
virtually every type of business.
In one year alone, our Network of International Business
Intermediaries participated in the sale of businesses
with a total value of approximately half a billion dollars.
This wide range of experience provides VR with an unparalleled
proprietary knowledge of real market values and emerging
market trends, all available in a private computerized
data bank accessed only by VR Intermediaries.
