Why Have A Business Valuation?
There are times when the owners of a closely held business need to know the value of the business. Sometimes, having the valuation is a legal requirement such as in estate and gift tax matters or in a divorce; sometimes, the owners are not required to have a valuation but want to have one so they can make a better business decision such as in deciding whether or not to sell the company.
