Case Histories

We have performed a number of different types of valuations. Some involved assessing the risks associated with a particular business acquisition and others were designed to arrive at a quantitative assessment of the present value of the cash flow over a specific period of time. Still others are used in distressed situation or by financial institutions to place valuation on either a liquidation value or a sale to another entity.

The Attorney Career Changer:

One of our clients, an attorney who was no longer interested in practicing law, was interested in purchasing a business. Although he had a very substantial amount of cash, he was advised on limiting his investment to $1,000,000 as an equity contribution and $1,000,000 of contingent personal liability. We were able to evaluate several opportunities that fit his required parameters and help evaluate his options before he invested his money, rather than after when it would have been to late! 

SBA Lender:

We prepared a valuation  of a business with very little in the way of "hard assets" for a financial institution interested in making a loan. The basis for the assessment was future cash flow and the valuation was used to establish a potential sale value for the company and its contracts.

Distressed Company on Verge of Bankruptcy:

We were retained by a company in the garment business to evaluate financial options in a very difficult situation. We evaluated the liquidation value of the assets and goodwill to determine whether a liquidation in bankruptcy was a viable option for this troubled firm.

Regional Bank

We have provided a very complex and detailed business valuation for a bank which used the valuation to assess their collateral package as a going concern and to negotiate with the borrower. Using non-traditional methods, we were able to prepare a report that both was in compliance with valuation standards and was a meaningful tool for the lender.

Reference Accounts

We have done work for financial institutions and entrepreneurs in evaluating such items as cash flow, goodwill, and other intangibles that are difficult to place a market value on under conventional circumstances. More and more financial institutions need this type of information as more and more service businesses without a lot of "hard assets" are looking to borrowing money.

Evaluations for financing

Unusual asset that are difficult to value. Goodwill and other intangibles, contracts and contract rights, collateral valuations.

Evaluations for acquisitions

How much should an seller expect to receive for the sale of his/her business? How much should the buyer pay/offer?

Divorce and estate purposes

IRS and other guidelines must be considered in these situations.
