Valuation
Your business is often your most significant asset, so knowing its value is critically important. CLA offers an objective, well-reasoned valuation that can stand up to scrutiny, tests, and challenges.
What's on your mind?
- Understanding what your company is really worth
- Knowing what elements impact value now and down the road
- Reducing your risk factors (e.g., client concentration, current and future cash flow, industry-specific risk)
- Growing your portfolio by maximizing shareholder value
- Positioning for an exit event and determining price based on buyer profile (investor or employee)
- Gaining confidence your valuation will stand up to auditors and regulating bodies
- Planning for succession
