Peak Business Valuation offers business valuation services in California for the following reasons:
- Selling a Business or Equity. We work with business owners who are looking to understand the value of their business because they are looking to sell their business. Selling a business as a whole or selling equity to a partner.
- Growing a Business. Peak helps business owners who are looking to grow their business seek to understand the value of their business. Once a business owner understands the value of their business, we discuss the value drivers behind their company. If desired, we provide consulting services or point them to individuals that have experience in their industry that are better equipped to help them grow their business.
- Buying a Business. If you are looking to purchase a business, you have multiple opportunities to work with a business valuation firm. We primarily work with individuals when they are performing due diligence on the company that they are looking to purchase. We provide you with a due diligence checklist that you will provide to the business owner. We will then provide a list of questions that we would like addressed when performing a business valuation. If desired, we can also perform a machinery and equipment appraisal if you are purchasing the equipment of a company. We are here to help you feel more confident in your decision to purchase the business.
- SBA Financing. We work with banks across California with SBA 7(a) business valuations and machinery & equipment appraisals. If you are looking to purchase a business and you use SBA financing, your banker is required to work with a business valuation firm if the amount being financed is greater than $250,000.
- Other Services. We provide gift and estate valuations to business owners who are performing estate planning. In addition, we work with business owners who are in the beginning stages of a divorce or partnership dispute. As a business owner, it is important to inquire about a business valuation earlier on in the divorce process. Typically, the business is the largest asset, and the value should be known upfront.
