Business Valuations for Family Law, Divorce & Mediation

Often there is disagreement between married couples regarding the value of marital assets. In such cases a third-party appraisal can aid in establishing a value for equitable division. When marital assets include an ownership interest in a privately held business, a certified business and equipment appraiser is called for, one who is experienced in both the value of the business as a going concern and the value of the commercial personal property less liabilities if the business is to be valued on a liquidation basis.

In either case, collaboration between legal counsel and the business appraiser is required for a proper understanding of the specific context and factors that define the environment in which the valuation is to occur.

Pro Business Valuations provides both Fair Market Value (including discounts) and Fair Value as specified by council or the court (typically without discounts) by way of formal business appraisals and calculations of business value for mediation and consulting services.
