How much is your business worth?  This is a simple question that has no simple answer for the small business owner.  A prime goal of every business enterprise is to improve and maximize its value to the owners. This is a necessary business requirement to justify the passion, commitment and capital invested in starting and managing a business. However, many business owners do not know the value of their business and are sometimes surprised and shocked when they find out.  This is a serious problem because more often than not, the surprise surfaces when little can be done to meet the valuation goals of the company and the owner.  A death, a divorce, the decision to retire are some of the catalysts that trigger the anger, fear and despair associated with having to establish the value of your company.  Clearly, waiting to the last minute to know the value of your business distracts you from the control you need to effectively manage your business and meet your valuation goals.

A properly prepared business valuation can provide you with information that helps identify and control the company’s strengths and weaknesses that affect value.  This allows you to exercise planned control over the areas of the business that really count in order to meet your valuation goals. A business valuation prepared periodically will also help you evaluate your progress toward those goals. An ordinary accountant or CPA cannot help here.  If you want to more effectively control and focus your energies in areas that really count, you need to partner with a Strategic Accounting Advisor.
