At BGK, we work hard to understand your business and your specific needs in order to provide the level of service and reporting necessary to meet your goals. In some cases, you may need a full valuation with a comprehensive narrative report that meets or exceeds professional standards. In other cases, you might only need a valuation analysis with a letter that meets minimum disclosure requirements or an estimate of value for internal purposes.
We will:
- Help you assess the short- and long-term requirements
- Work to fully understand your business and plans
- Combine our sound process with a personal approach
- Deliver a product that provides an accurate, reliable analysis to support your financial decisions
Not only will you get the assistance you need to make business decisions, but we will also help you understand the factors that impact the value of your business. This added insight into the process will help you improve the value of your business, and better plan for the future.
Whether you need an expert witness or a litigation consultant, BGK’s valuation consultants have the experience and expertise you need. Our consultants are fully accredited to meet strict professional requirements.
These credentials are only a starting point. We are also analytical, detail-oriented, insightful, responsive and ethical. As well, we have the ability to take the complex and break it down so as to be able to provide explanations in layman’s terms.
We provide assistance in cases such as:
- Shareholder disputes
- Tax-related controversies
- Minority shareholder disputes and litigation
- Mediation or arbitration of valuation-related disputes
- Marital dissolutions
- Review or expert reports
- Business damages or economic loss analysis
There are times when business partners cannot agree what is best for their business. The inability to resolve their issues can result in undue stress on the partners and the business itself. This stress can sometimes lead to the demise of the business.
The partners might decide that it is best for one partner to buy the other out but who buys who and at what price?
These questions may require partners to bring their case to court. Litigation is a time consuming, expensive and public way to resolve disputes. What seems like a small matter for the courts can drag on for many years and result in unlimited costs, with the business being irreparably damaged in the process. The emotional toll on the owners is high and in the end, the court’s decision may not please either partner.
Our specialists can assist in resolving these issues and keep partner conflicts out of a courtroom. We act as a neutral party, hired by both sides to help resolve differences in a fair, cost effective way. Information is gathered from all parties involved in order to prepare our analysis of business value. We then meet with the parties involved to reach an agreement on the information and assumptions to be used to value the business. Once we reach an understanding, we calculate value using the data all parties have agreed upon. The result is an accurate, honest business valuation.
Our services include:
- Analysis of the value of the business interest in dispute
- Suggested structure of payout based upon the company’s cash flow and ability to obtain financing.
- Determination of appropriate discounts (if any) related to a particular business interest
- Determination of market compensation for owner-employees
