Frequently Asked Questions
Why is business valuation in Washington so important?
A business valuation is essential because it can provide insights into the current market value of your Washington company. In fact, you’ll require a valuation report in the following situations: sale/purchase, partner exit, partner’s death/disability/divorce, SBA loan application, IRS settlements, C-corp to S-corp transition, and more.
What will I need to get my business evaluated?
You’ll need the following documents during business appraisal:
- Financial statements including balance sheets, P&L statements, and tax returns from the past five years.
- Up-to-date financial information including interim P&L statements and current-year balance sheets.
- Any projections for the company’s future.
What are the different methods to value a business?
There are three major techniques to evaluate the worth of a company:
- Asset-based method
- Earnings method
- Market value method
What’s the cost to get a business valuation in Washington?
The cost of business appraisal services in Washington vary for different businesses and depend on various factors including the business’s size, operations, etc.
In all, you can expect to pay in the range of $5,000 and $50,000 as per local average.
How long will it take to get a business appraisal?
A comprehensive evaluation by a certified professional takes approximately two weeks to complete.
How to critically evaluate my business valuation?
One critique of the valuation process is the purchase price justification examination. This examination can be utilized to determine if the revenue generated by the company can pay for the purchase loan, and any relevant taxes, and provide a return on investment for the investor.
Why should I prefer professional/paid business valuation services?
A free online valuation may not provide accurate or in-depth information, while a paid evaluation guarantees a thorough analysis of your business and its growth potential.
Is it possible that there are multiple values of a business?
Yes, a business can have multiple values. The calculation of a company’s worth can fluctuate over time, and it’s essential to consider what a willing and able purchaser would be willing to pay when determining a company’s value.
How should I evaluate a business appraiser’s qualifications?
Only those valuators who have the necessary training and experience are capable of making legally binding assessments of a company’s worth.
As such, it’s important to look for qualifications like Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA), Certified Company Appraiser (CBA), Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV), or Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA).
Is the date of evaluation significant?
Yes, it is.
An evaluation is always considered on the date it was made. And as time passes, the value determined by an older assessment may no longer be accurate.
What’s so special in Washington for businesses?
Apart from the superb climate and awesome landscapes that’s been attracting travelers for ages, Washington is also a major West Coast business hub.
In fact, from Amazon to Starbucks to Boeing to Costco, and countless more, Washington is the birthplace of countless business giants.
