Business Valuations

Gift or Estate Taxes

The value of a partial ownership interest in a privately held business is not worth its proportionate percentage.  If your business is worth $1,000,000 and you want to gift a 10% interest, the fair market value of that gift is typically less than $100,000.  

Divorce

In a divorce, the value of the assets owned jointly by the marriage are divided between them.  You probably know the value of your home and investment portfolio, but what about the fair market value of your business?

Potential Business Sale

There are several different questions to consider when selling one's business.  Are you going to sell the company stock or just those assets that normally transfer in a sale?  What expenses are really discretionary to the seller?  What is the value of any goodwill owned by the business?

Partner Buy-Outs

Not all partners have the same timeline for when they want to retire. When your partner wants to be bought out, will the price you agree to be fair for all concerned?  Remember, debt incurred by the Company tends to reduce its value.  Will your half be worth less than what you paid to buy out your partner?
