In determining what a business or practice is worth, it is necessary to sink your teeth into something tangible, something that will be acceptable and defensible legally and professionally as a lucid analysis of true worth. Whether used in wills, sales, consolidations or dissolution of businesses or professional practices, pre-marital agreements, divorce actions, or a basis for loans or public funding (see the full list below), a true valuation is not only a scorecard, it is a bargaining chip in negotiations and a valuable reference point for attorneys’ strategies.
