  • Business Valuations

    How many times have you heard a so-called expert tell you the value of a business is a multiple or percentage of this or that? This so called business valuation is nothing more than a rule of thumb (a principle with broad application that is not intended to be accurate or reliable) probably obtained from hearsay and you should never fall into this trap! We can assist you with the valuation of a company or how to value a small business as well.
