Purpose of Valuation

RWS has assisted business owners nationwide with professionally prepared business valuations. The RWS database, which is used in valuing businesses, has been developed by valuing thousands of businesses for business owners, business brokers, financial consultants, and lending institutions. Professionally determining the right value for your business is essential for any of the following purposes:

• Sell your business at the Fair Market Value
• Provide a lender with Fair Market Value information for a business loan
• Plan for a merger, acquisition or stock offering
• Develop an estate plan or tax plan to protect your wealth
• Transfer of the business into a trust or create a succession plan
• Determine the value of assets and liabilities for a divorce settlement
• Assist attorneys in litigation
• Settlement of an insurance claim
• Set up an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

Whatever its purpose, a professionally prepared business valuation can play a key role in helping you achieve your objective.
