Whether you’re buying or selling a business, planning your estate, or settling a corporate dispute, it’s critical to have sound, professional advice from a firm that will stand behind its conclusions. Today, lenders, insurers, the courts and government agencies are increasingly insisting on expert opinions to support claims where the value of a business is concerned. When Evergreen Capital prepares a business valuation for you, you have sufficient documentation for these purposes.

While many “consultants” or “experts” will tell you what you want to hear, we are committed to telling you what you need to know to make an informed, managed decision. An accurate business valuation will provide management with an understanding of the factors that affect value, allowing them to focus appropriate attention and resources to specific areas to increase value.

Many owners believe that the value of their business is determined solely by their net profit or gross sales. However, using only one aspect of the business’ financial operation such as these as a basis for value results in an inaccurate interpretation of how neutral parties or potential buyers may view the value of the business. An inaccurate business value assessment can have detrimental consequences, including the inability to obtain fair value for your business or even the failure to accept a reasonable offer due to an unrealistic expectation.

Evergreen Capital provides accurate, unbiased valuations and guidance by experience professionals, including:

• Preparation for sale of business
• Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs)
• Bankruptcy or foreclosures
• Shareholder and partner disputes
• Estate, gift, and tax planning.
