Business Valuation
Determining
the value of a privately-held company requires a combination
of knowledge and experience in the financial marketplace.
Our valuation professionals are well trained in business
valuation theory and possess a wide base of valuation
experience. They have earned AICPA-ABV (Accredited
in Business Valuation) and NACVA-CVA (Certified Valuation
Analyst) designations by completing required courses
and written examinations. McNair, McLemore, Middlebrooks
& Co., LLP is a proud partner in the Financial
Consulting Group, a national alliance of independent
firms leading the valuation and litigation services
industry. This partnership allows us to pool our
technical expertise at a national level to provide you

Valuations
can be helpful in a variety of situations including:
- Buying
or selling your business - Whether you are
considering selling your business or buying a business,
it is essential to have a reasonable approximation
of worth. Our analysts use several methods to
determine how potential buyers and sellers view the
business in question.
- Strategic
planning - A periodic business valuation
serves as a measurement tool in identifying strengths
and weaknesses that affect value. Through this
valuable insight, it becomes possible to effect positive
change in overall success and management effectiveness.
- Gifting
of assets - Transferring potentially appreciating
assets to reduce your estate can be a valuable estate
planning tax strategy. An independent valuation
prepared in accordance with specific IRS regulations
can help your gifts withstand IRS inspection.
- Seeking
business financing - An objective valuation
provides evidence of the value of your business and
assets that can help you obtain financing from investors
and lenders.
Other
situations that may benefit from a valuation include
family limited partnerships, buy-sell agreements, shareholder
disputes, employee stock option plans, divorce, due
diligence analysis, mergers and acquisitions.
