Business Valuation: Advent Valuation Advisors specializes in the valuation of closely-held companies, professional practices, and partnership interests. We perform business valuations on a confidential basis for business owners and their professional advisors for a variety of purposes:
- Estate and Gift Tax - business appraisals of control and non-control equity interests of both operating and asset holding companies, FLPs and other fractional ownership interests.
- Financial Reporting - valuations prepared for compliance with FASB 141 (purchase price allocations) and FASB 142 (impairment of goodwill) and intangible asset appraisals.
- Transaction Support - consulting with buyers or sellers on valuation and value drivers.
- Shareholder and Divorce Litigation - supporting counsel and their clients in the valuation of business interests, professional practices, goodwill, and enhanced earnings (licenses and degrees) calculations.
Appraisal Review: Either as a result of time or money limitations, a client and/or his counsel is often unable to ascertain if a valuation report is accurate and supported. A few errors, omissions or intentional bias can result in a considerably erroneous conclusion of value, which can result in a miscalculation of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Business Strategic Planning: Advent Valuation Advisors offers a wide range of planning services, including the analysis of market opportunities, the development of operating plans, and the building of detailed income and cash flow projections. Our planning efforts have helped businesses attain objectives, acquire debt or equity financing, and define performance-based compensation programs. The professionals at Advent Valuation Advisors have provided planning services to a wide range of business owners, encompassing start-up entrepreneurs looking for financing, high-tech companies seeking first-and-second-tier capital, and business owners seeking exit strategies in order to retire or move onto other ventures. We create focus on goals and identify workable strategies to meet these goals.
