Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need a business valuation?
A business valuation is useful in multiple situations. You’ll need a valuation for purchase and sale, to determine equitable asset distribution in circumstances like a partner’s death, divorce, disability, and even after natural disasters.
Further, a company valuation is required for settling disputes among partners, IRS compliance, donations, or switching from C-corp to S-corp.
Which documents do you need for a Dallas business appraisal?
The appraiser may ask for the following documents at the time of company valuation:
- The balance sheets and tax returns for the past five years.
- The balance sheets of the present year and interim P&L statements.
- Copy of forecasts and upcoming projects.
- The valuators might also seek information about the goods and services offered, assets and liabilities, etc.
What business valuation methods can you opt for?
Mainly there are three methods or approaches to business evaluation, namely:
- Asset-based approach (calculates the value of your company’s total assets).
- Market value approach (calculates what buyer might pay for your business in present-day situations).
- Earnings approach (calculates the value of past, present, and potential future earnings).
How long will it take to evaluate your company
It can take up to two weeks to conduct an in-depth company valuation.
Should you pay for a business valuation report or go for free sources?
A business evaluation is a critical exercise to factually establish the real worth of your company. And answering a few questions online on free sources will never equip you with reliable information for the same.
Can company valuation throw up multiple values?
Yes, there can be multiple results when you value your company over a period of time.
What qualifications should you look for in a business appraiser?
You should look for experts with designations like Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) or Certified Company Appraiser (CCA).
Also, you can also go for people with credentials like Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) or Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA).
Is the date of estimation important?
Yes, it is.
A business valuation is all about approximation of the value of your business on a certain date. So, although the value of your company is influenced by various factors, a valuation is taken into account only as of the date it was finalized.
