An Appraisal/Valuation starts by defining the purpose and use of the Appraisal.  Next is the process of understanding the Business, what it is, what it does, and the Income and Cash Flow it produces.  One or more approaches to value will be used - Asset Approach, Income Approach, and Market Approach.  Within each Approach there are a number of valuation Methods that will be selected and used as are appropriate under the circumstances.

Our experience with many types of closely held businesses, not only as an appraiser and business broker, but also with experience as a buyer, operator, and seller, provides the basis to find and evaluate all of the elements that contribute to or detract from the value in each business.  We believe the appraisal process is both a science and an art that need to be combined to properly determine value.
