Business Valuations

Accredited Business Valuation Services from Venture Opportunities

A realistic business valuation is a critical element regardless of the purpose. Every business owner should know what his or her business is worth before they even consider trying to sell it. At Venture Opportunities, our business brokers specialize in business valuations in Dallas / Fort Worth and the rest of the Metroplex.

In today’s advantageous market, many business owners still leave substantial money on the table when they sell their companies – most often because the owner(s) do not truly have a handle on their company’s value. Also, business valuations are important and serve a purpose in regard to divorce, estate planning, business planning, partnership disputes, etc. For these reasons, the valuation process is a true asset to the business owner. Valuing a company requires a broad scope of technical and business experience, the ability to consider and select appropriate valuation techniques, and a thorough understanding of today’s tax laws and corporate finance. 

Venture Opportunities is a team of experienced current and former business owners who have helped thousands of clients with business valuations in Fort Worth and Dallas. Our business brokers use a complex system to determine an accurate value.

Call us today at 972-783-1662 to discuss getting a business valuation for your business in the Metroplex.

Why Should Business Owners Consider a Qualified Business Valuation?

  • Expediting the business selling time frame and solidifying the price of the business.
  • Helping identify the key value drivers, major strengths and, more importantly, the major weaknesses of a company allowing the owner to solve both obvious and hidden problems prior to the selling process.
  • Determining a reasonable selling price. Many owners rely on general rules of thumb, casual advice from friends, or similar unreliable sources. Unless the business owner goes through the valuation process, he/she will not know. If the owner’s expectation of value is too high, it will prolong the selling process until a price concession is made. If the price is too low, money is left on the table.
  • Fully understanding the value of the business will strengthen the owner’s negotiating position. In this market, one can expect buyers to be sophisticated and experienced. A business owner must be prepared. Sophisticated and experienced buyers will conduct a rigorous analysis of the Company even if the Seller has not; don’t let them get the leg up on information about your own company.
  • Estate planning and business planning purposes. Divorce. Partnership disputes, etc.
