As a business owner, you know that the decisions you make about your business' future impact your shareholders, employees as well as you and your family. In order to maximize its marketability, prepare for succession or even a sale, you need to know the real worth of your business' assets and shares. A valuation of your business can determine how competitive it is today as well as future opportunities. There are many benefits to obtaining a valuation, some obvious and others less so. In this article, we'll look at the different types of reports you can obtain as well as the most common — and surprising — ways a valuation can benefit your business.
