Business valuations are required in many instances including mergers, estate planning, divorce, shareholder disputes, buy/sell agreements, and economic damages.
At Marcum, we perform business valuations for a wide variety of purposes. We have valued thousands of private and public companies across all industry sectors. We have also worked extensively on acquisition structures and terms, cash flow forecasting for business planning and financial needs, and various closely held business issues. We are frequently retained to provide expert witness services relating to the value of a business; loss of a business or segment of a business; a determination of reasonable compensation; and other financial matters.
Our professionals are highly credible and certified to perform accurate and effective business valuations. Our professionals have served as arbitrators and court-appointed experts on valuation matters. We are often retained by opposing parties with differing valuations of a business or a business interest. We are frequently appointed by courts to mediate widely disparate appraisals as well as offer expert testimony.
Marcum brings many years of dedicated expertise, practical experience, and professional resources to accurately determine the value of the business or interest at issue. Marcum's Valuation Services provides an independent analysis using an in-depth understanding of accepted valuation methodologies to produce supportable valuations. Each valuation is based on the facts and circumstances at the time of valuation. Marcum professionals provide experience and insight, recognizing and properly weighing the underlying components of value, taking into account all issues at hand. Our valuation reports are well documented and provide information about the company and the subject business interest, its financial condition, its earning capacity, and its performance against its peers in its industry.
Valuing a business requires considerable judgment and expertise. An independent valuation expert brings the benefits of professional training, experience and third-party objectivity to the process. Our help in valuing damages is based upon realistic assumptions that properly reflect the current economic environment. We make sure the evidence supports the assumptions and findings.
