Your business is your most valuable asset. If you are selling it, you will want to ensure that you are getting the right price for it. If you are buying a business, you will likewise want to ensure that you are paying a fair price.

A valuation analysis before negotiations even begin can provide a useful benchmark during negotiations.

As negotiations proceed, you may also benefit from a valuation analysis of the seller's proposed transaction consideration. If, for example, the buyer proposes a substantial portion of the payment in the form of an earn-out agreement or the stock of the purchaser, its value may be uncertain.

If you are purchasing a business, you could similarly benefit from analyses of the value of the business and the proposed consideration, from the opposite point of view, but for the same reasons.

Either way, professional valuation can help ensure that you are either paying or receiving a fair consideration for a business.
