How much is your business worth? If you are basing your answer on book value or an old appraisal report, then you could be overlooking intangible values. Relying on outdated measures often leads to costly mistakes.
Whether you are considering liquidating or reorganizing your business, planning your estate, converting a C-Corp to an S-Corp, or developing a succession plan -- it is critical to have a sound business valuation prepared consistent with acceptable (or IRS) standards from a CPA firm that will stand behind its conclusions.
