Why Bridge Valuation?
We have valuation credentials, extensive experience and the ability to defend our value conclusions in (and out) of court. We work with business owners who seek to understand the value of a company for the purpose of litigation, estate planning or potential sale of the company.
We are here to provide a value for your business, especially in times of change. You might want to know if it is time to expand or sell, create or cash-out. If you are looking to sell the business - we help create a "Bridge" to another phase in your life. The first step is understanding what a buyer would pay for the company and then what will they look for in your company?
Business Valuation and Litigation Expert
We understand how to apply business valuation methods in the context of a civil litigation, whether it's a personal divorce between individuals or a business divorce between owners or partners in a company.
When you are getting divorced or dealing with a partner dispute, we understand the emotional process of moving away from your partner in life and in business. We are here to help you understand the reasonable value of the business so your attorneys can work to settle the case. But...we are always prepared to defend our work in court if testimony is necessary.
