Business Valuations

More than a Report

As a business owner, understanding the value of your business is one of the most important things to know. By determining where the value lies through a business valuation, you can make strategic decisions to maximize your profitability and investment.

While a business valuation can be obtained at any time, they are often required for:

• Strategic business planning
• Ownership succession and retirement planning
• Estate planning
• Buy/sell agreements (or shareholder agreements)
• Employee share purchases
• Corporate reorganizations and restructuring
• Income tax purposes
• Litigation and dispute resolution

Just right for your business.

At Smythe Advisory, we work closely with business owners, management and other professional advisors to understand what makes your business valuable. Our clients find the valuation process as beneficial as the report itself. During the process, we take the time to analyze your business and have in-depth discussions to determine what makes your business successful. We become a sounding board for the business owner to reflect on their current operations, and formulate a strategy moving forward.

Our reports are prepared in conformity with the reporting standards of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators. Depending on your needs and the purpose of the valuation, a few of the reports we are able to provide, but are not limited to:

• Calculation valuation reports
• Independent valuation reports
• Advisory valuation reports
• Expert reports for litigation purposes
