Understanding the value of your business or business assets provides you with the means to preserve or grow that value. Valuations are used for many reasons, including investment analysis, capital budgeting, purchase price allocation, financial reporting, fresh-start accounting, taxable events, and many other business and legal purposes such as litigation support.
