Are you ready for a refresher course on business valuations? Mary Beth Koester joins unsuitable on Rea Radio to walk us through the basics: What is a valuation, why do business owners need one, and what other valuable services does a valuation support? We’ll answer these questions and more using some real-life examples.
Why Should I Get A Valuation (If I’m Not Looking To Sell)?
When most business owners think of valuations, they tend to think of it in the context of a liquidity event, such as a partner passing away, estate planning, or succession planning. However, it’s also just part of a good business strategy and planning for the future.
If you are a business owner or executive, you will be interested in these other topics discussed in this episode:
- How the stock market affects business valuations.
- Valuations for “lifestyle companies”.
- How you can use valuations for business planning & risk assessment.
