Purchase or Sale of a Business
A thorough and objective valuation is essential for the business owner who is exploring the sale of his or her company. Knowing fair market value allows the owner to objectively assess personal, business and financial objectives and identify the most viable options. A valuation also empowers the business owner who decides to enter the marketplace, to negotiate with potential acquirers from a position of strength. Similarly, an acquirer or investor who enters a transaction with an objective valuation, is positioned for an equitable result. LMF provides in-depth valuations and assessments of value to both sellers and acquirers, in separate transactions.
Buy-Ins of Professional Practices
Many professional practices bring qualified practioners on board with the promise of stock ownership incentives in order to retain quality professionals and grow a practice. Also, professionals retire and sell their interest in a practice. When these events occur a valuation is necessary to determine the stock value of the transaction. Professional practice buy-in valuations vary in structure and are generally outlined in the partnership agreement.
Solvency & Fraudulent Conveyance
In these uncertain economic times, fraudulent conveyance in leveraged buy outs, restructuring, and recapitalizations is a valid concern for parties involved in leveraged transactions. Therefore, an independent, in-depth opinion of solvency and capital adequacy is crucial to protect corporate directors and lenders. LMF can ascertain a company's ability to repay its debt as it becomes due and determine whether a company has a reasonable capital base from which to operate.
