Why Accurate Valuation Is Important?

Great care is necessary to ensure that the community property interests of each spouse are protected. The need for this level of accountability is relatively simple: Opposing parties tend to disagree with anything they can if they believe the valuation does not serve their own best interests. In this scenario, it would probably be in your spouse’s best interest to maximize the valuation of your company. This is because the more the business was worth, the more you would have to give up to obtain your spouse’s share. Splitting a company can be as easy as buying out your spouse’s share. The challenge is not usually in this process, but in securing the resources necessary for a sustainable ownership strategy.

Benefits of getting a business valuation

• Better Knowledge of Company Assets

It is significantly important to obtain an accurate business valuation assessment. Estimates are not acceptable as it is a generalization.

Specific numbers need to be gained from valuation processes so that business owners can obtain proper insurance coverage, know how much to reinvest into the company, and how much to sell your company for so that you still make a profit.

• Understanding of Company Resale Value

If you are contemplating selling your company, knowing its true value is necessary. This process should be started far before the business goes up for sale on the open market because you will have an opportunity to take more time to increase the company's value to achieve a higher selling price. As a business owner, you should know what your company's valuation is.

• Obtain a True Company Value

You may have a general idea of what your business is worth, based upon simple data such as stock market value, total asset value and company bank account balances. But, there is much more to business valuations than those simple factors. Work with a reputable valuations company to ensure that the correct numbers are provided.

• Better During Mergers/Acquisitions

If a major company asks about purchasing your company, you have to be able to show them what the value is as a whole, what its asset withholdings are, how it has grown, and how it can continue to grow. Major corporations will attempt to acquire your business or merge with it for as little money as possible.
