Business Valuation

Companies seek business valuations for corporate governance or regulatory reasons or management review for critical input for the decision-making process. In these instances, the company is at a critical moment in its life. It may be planning a major acquisition, resolving a shareholder, or joint venture dispute, or seeking to reduce the gap between intrinsic and market value.
