Business Valuations
At Beacon Corporation, Brokerage (Beacon), we offer our clients a comprehensive business valuation to assess the current value of their company. Business valuations not only are critical when selling or buying a business, but also put a price tag on the company when a disagreement with a partner needs to be settled, a bank loan is applied for, or to defend the business value in a legal dispute.
Beacon provides independent and advisory valuation services in accordance with International Valuation Standards. Our valuation professionals that author our Valuation Reports are members of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators (CICBV).
As part of the transaction services we provide, a valuation will provide guidance to our clients in ways to enhance their value in advance of a divestiture transaction. Rather than a valuation which may form the basis of any negotiation, we also provide Most Probable Selling Price reports as a first-level value calculation for our clients.
Valuation are used to:
- Negotiate a purchase/sale
- Secure credit
- Create an Initial Public Offering
- Arrange private placements
- Settle a legal dispute
- Determine taxation strategies
- Assist management decisions
Quantifying the worth of your business and intangible assets using professionally accepted methods to arrive at a well-reasoned and defensible estimate of value is critical to ensure you are getting the maximum value for your business. Taking into account historical financial performance, recent market transactions and industry outlook, a business' earning power is established by Beacon's experienced staff and documented in a professional report.
In the context of an Independent or an Advisory capacity, there are four levels of reports we can offer, those being Most Probable Selling Price Reports, Calculation Reports, Estimate Reports, and Comprehensive Reports. The breadth of coverage in each type of report is similar, but the depth of coverage varies with the type of report required by clients to fit their needs and the purpose of the report. For negotiating a purchase or sale of a business, the Most Probable Selling Price Report is often the most appropriate level of analysis. Contact Us for more information.
