Don't let a poor business valuation make your divorce even worse
If you are this far down the road of a divorce that you are looking for professional guidance to determine the value of a business tied up in the process, we urge you to be cautious.
Warning!
Business valuation in divorce is not for sissies
The nature of the divorce process is that close friends and family offer you unsolicited advice, almost always anecdotal. They mean well, usually to make you feel better, safer, and hopeful. Sometimes they say things to make you angrier, vengeful, or lost.
Emotional responses do not help with the facts.
Please take care
You are changing your life!
Don't be rushed by someone else's agenda. You won't go through this often. Accept that you need some guidance.
We will help.
We've been running valuations in divorces as a basis for negotiating fair and equitable settlements for more than 20 years.
Independent
Our business valuations are independent of the long history of the accounting professionals who have counseled the directors for years, and even decades.
Objective
Our team knows what to dig for get to the nub of the KVIs which drive valuations. They are not tainted by personalities, histories, or emotions.
Reasoned
Let's face it - when you read the business valuation number, you want to understand how that number got there. And you want the other side to understand too.

There are so many emotional battles involved in a divorce. You don't need the equitable division of business assets to be anything but... well, equitable. We have gone down this path with hundreds of divorcing people, and the one thing that everybody has in common, is that they say they want to be fair.

Years of experience doing business valuations in divorce settlements
Independence, objectivity, and reasoning aside, we have been involved in these negotiations hundreds of times. We have listened to the arguments and counter-arguments. We have seen how weaknesses can be exploited. We have learned to defend the same weaknesses for our clients.
When the other side takes issue with our findings we can defend them vigorously with facts. Similarly, when their valuation disagrees with ours, we will have done the work to understand why they are wrong, and we will show them why.
