To manage risk in your business and personal life, you need a clear picture of what you have at stake. Often that means having a clear understanding of what an interest in a closely held business is worth.
 | Do you need to determine the value of a closely held business for divorce or other litigation purpose? |
| Are you selling your business or planning for a merger, acquisition, spin off, or stock offering? |
| Do you need a professional valuation to assist you and your attorney in determining the value of a closely-held business relating to an estate or a gift? |
| Do you need to quantify economic damages for pre-litigation and litigation purposes? |
