Have you wondered what your business is worth?  Have you contemplated the reasons for even needing to know in the first place?  Is now the time?

A business’ value, however, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder . . .

            You can’t value a business until you answer two questions:
                        Value to whom?
                        Value for what purpose?

At The ValuGroup (a joint venture between Bell & Company and Southard Financial), our experience suggests a business should be valued in one or more of the following situations:

  • Business purchases or sales
  • Gift and estate taxes
  • Buy/sell agreements
  • Family/limited partnerships
  • S Corporation conversions
  • Shareholder transactions
  • Divorce
  • Litigation
  • Financial institution need/desire
  • Management/operational issues

The ValuGroup’s valuations are planned and performed in the strictest confidence by certified business valuation professionals. Our reports can help business owners make important business decisions by clarifying:

  1. Key business value drivers
  2. Management depth
  3. How well capital structure and elements of transferability are being managed
  4. Key information about the business operations and finances
  5. A framework for transferring the business or wealth to family members

In addition to valuation services, the ValuGroup provides investment banking and consulting services in a variety of areas.
