Business Valuation
Meridian Strategy Group provides business valuation reports and transaction advisory services to clients. Our approach to valuation meets two tests. First, we reach an accurate value conclusion. Second, we clearly and convincingly establish how the conclusion was reached. We go beyond merely the numbers. We also utilize transaction databases and other secondary research sources that reinforce the future value of enterprise growth opportunities.Purpose of a Valuation
Some practical reasons for obtaining a business valuation include the following:
- Benchmarking shareholder value
- Obtaining financing
- Spin-offs and split-ups
- Purchase/sale and allocation of purchase price
- Buy-sell agreements
The Valuation Report
A valuation report can provide one of three types of conclusion: opinion, estimate or indication of value. These reports are differentiated by the level of assurance they provide and the amount of analysis, investigation and independant corroboration required to support each type of conclusion. Our valuation reports are written in accordance with the guidelines established by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators.
