Business Valuation

You have worked hard over the years to build and establish your farm or business, and now you may need to know:  "What is my farm or food-related business really worth?"  There are a wide range of reasons you may need to pin this down.  

Are you looking to transfer part or all of your farm or business to the next generation?

Do you or a partner need to place a value on the business for legal or tax purposes?

Will your business need to be valued for the next stage of growth involving debt financing or Investment?

Do you need to make strategic decisions about outsourcing or vertically integrating?

Is someone interested in merging with you or acquiring your business?

Is there a specific piece of equipment or real estate you are thinking about acquiring that needs a more thorough evaluation?

These are a few scenarios that suggest you may need a business valuation.  We offer business valuation services to help you take this critical next step.  

It's More than a Number

The valuation process will help you understand your individual business in today's broader economy.  By evaluating your past and current financials, we develop a projection for your business taking into account the impact of key financial metrics and current market trends and industry conditions.  We evaluate strengths and weaknesses from both an internal and external perspective.  Then we calculate a reasonable value for your business as an ongoing concern.  The process and final presentation are meant to be informative and robust so that you can deepen your understanding and broaden your perspective about your business in today's climate.

The sum or its parts...

We can provide either consolidated or separate values for businesses that are closely integrated.  We can even incorporate personal property or privately held real property into the valuation when these assets are integral to your operation or provide financial backing to the business.  We can value the sum or the individual parts so that you have the information you need for confident decisions about your future.

All of our valuations are certified by a licensed appraiser and can be used as a legitimate third party valuation in a wide range of situations. Call or email today to schedule your business valuation or to discuss the valuation needs of your farm or food-related business.
