When To Get a Business Valuation

Business valuation is more than a number — it’s actionable insight. It enables you to improve financial performance, safeguard your assets, and make informed choices about growth and transition. The right valuation sets the stage for smarter planning and stronger outcomes when you need to:

  • Prepare for a sale, merger, or acquisition
  • Structure buy–sell or shareholder agreements
  • Support gifting and estate planning (including ESOP feasibility)
  • Address disputes and litigation (partner buyouts, divorce, shareholder dissent)
  • Meet financial reporting or audit needs (fair value, impairment, purchase price allocation)
  • Secure financing or benchmark value drivers for strategic planning
