When Should You Hire Business Valuation Services?
A business valuation or business appraisal is the independent and unbiased process of determining a supportable opinion of the value of a business, business ownership interest, security, or intangible asset as of a specified date. A valuation report or appraisal report is an important part of running a business and can be indispensable in key situations.
As a business owner, you’ll need an accurate business valuation or appraisal if you’re selling or transferring ownership of your business.
