After having worked with over 400 companies of various sizes over a broad array of industries, we have developed a real passion for you - the entrepreneur. Whether you are a 1st , 2nd , 3rd , or 4th generation business owner, we want to help you understand what the value of your business is, and how that value can be different depending on the following:

• If all or a portion of the business is being gifted
• If the business is being taxed because an owner dies
• If you or another owner are getting a divorce and the business is part of the marital property
• If there is a shareholder buy-out
• If you want to sell to an outside party - and that outside party is a financial buyer
• If you want to sell to an outside party - and that outside party is a strategic buyer (or someone already in the industry)
• If the management team wants to purchase the business
• If the company wants to form an ESOP

Understanding what your business is worth becomes much more critical as your business approaches a "known" transitional event. As you plan for your retirement or exit from the business, you need to define your goals and understand how the liquidity option you choose financially impacts them. Strategic Valuation Group strives to assist owners during this process. We help you define your options, and then we provide insight on how these options relate to value. Our listening skills, valuation competence and real business experience enable us to successfully identify your needs and goal and recommend alternative strategies to give your company direction.

When a sale is the chosen liquidity channel, we assist you in positioning your company to maximize value. And, we have a depth of associations with those in the capital markets, to most effectively match the company with an appropriate buyer. And we can assist in securing financing for the deal.
