Your business is more than just a bunch of documents and numbers. You know that its true value isn’t just a chart comparing assets and liabilities. At Partnered Solutions, we know that too. And our strategies reflect it.
What’s the true economic value of your business? Sure, you can look at the numbers and find out. But there are intangible factors too – things like its reputation and goodwill, its intellectual property, and its human capital. Certainly, it’s possible – theoretically, at least – to extrapolate the human value of your business from historic trends and make a determination on how those trends will continue in the future. (And professional valuation standards mandate such calculations, so you can be sure we’ll do that!)
But determining the true value of your business requires an experienced professional. Someone with a thorough understanding of valuation. Someone who knows what IRS, Treasury regulations, and state and federal tax laws demand. But that professional must also be able to identify and quantify those hidden values in your business. Because they’re just as essential.
In the past, businesses focus more on traditional asset accounting; twenty years ago, it constituted 80 percent of a given company’s market value. But today – largely due to the recognition of the kinds of intangibles and intellectual capital described above – it only accounts for 25 percent. The business valuation associates at Partnered Solutions have evolved over their decades of experience to recognize and embrace these changes.
Those bygone accounting practices only reflect a business’s past, not it’s present or future. The present and future of those practices themselves lie in recognizing – and being able to calculate – the value of intellectual capital resources like brands, proprietary processes, relationships, and knowledge. Gone are the days when the only assets worth calculating were concrete ones like buildings, equipment, raw materials, and inventory.
Our vast knowledge, experience, and professionalism can work for you. We provide a professional, legally defensible valuation capable of withstanding IRS scrutiny.
Because your business is more than numbers on a chart. And your business is worth it.
