Business Valuation Services
For many business owners, the business is their largest asset. Yet many owners do not have a current, realistic understanding of what the business may be worth.
Without a valuation framework, it is difficult to make informed decisions about retirement, succession, partner buyouts, estate planning, gifting, shareholder disputes, executive compensation, or a future sale.
Rasmussen Capital Management helps business owners use valuation as a planning tool. Depending on the purpose of the valuation, we may assist with an initial valuation estimate, business value discussion, normalization review, planning analysis, or coordination with a qualified valuation professional.
Business valuation may be useful when a business owner wants to:
- Prepare for a future sale or ownership transition
- Establish or update a buy-sell agreement
- Bring in a junior partner
- Gift business interests to children or family members
- Fund a shareholder exit
- Resolve shareholder disputes
- Support estate or gift planning discussions
- Evaluate divorce, litigation, or tax-related valuation issues
- Understand how business performance affects personal financial independence
For estate tax, gift tax, litigation, divorce, charitable contribution, or formal reporting purposes, a qualified professional appraisal may be necessary.
