What Is It All Worth?

Schechter Dokken Kanter offers an experienced full-time staff to those needing business valuation services. Our professionals are Accredited Business Valuators (ABV’s), specially trained to objectively determine values. We combine our training as Certified Public Accountants and accredited business valuators with every day experience to identify and evaluate factors contributing to the value of a business. We apply not only acceptable theorems and methodology, but common sense and sound judgment as well.

We perform valuations of closely held corporations, partnerships, estates and trusts and other businesses in a wide variety of industries. We have defended our valuations in front of the IRS, opposing counsel, in arbitration or mediation and in front of the toughest business executives.

Our approach to valuation reflects a 360 degree perspective of the history, current situation and future potential. Our analysis includes an examination of various qualitative factors such as the competitive position, the economic and industry conditions, product and/or company life cycle, key relationships, and management strength, in addition to the financial statements. In other words, we don’t just take anyone’s word for it. We tenaciously research until we are comfortable that we reach the best conclusion and valuation for our client.

Matters where our business valuation experts have been consulted include:
• Buy/Sell Agreements
• Purchase/Sale of Business Interests
• Estate & Gift Taxation Issues
• Minority Shareholder Disputes
• Conversion of C-Corps to S-Corps
• Asset Impairment
