Why Proper Valuation is Important for Business Ownership Transition
Ownership transitions rarely happen at convenient times—death, disability, divorce, or disputes can force sudden changes that put your entire business at risk. Without a solid valuation framework in your buy-sell agreement, you're essentially guessing at what's fair when emotions are running high, and stakes are even higher.
​
A proper valuation protects everyone involved by establishing clear, defensible values before a triggering event occurs. It prevents departing owners from being shortchanged and keeps remaining owners from overpaying or draining the company's resources.
​
You'll also avoid the kind of drawn-out conflicts that damage relationships, distract from operations, and rack up legal fees. Whether you're planning for a smooth succession or preparing for the unexpected, an accurate valuation gives you the foundation to move forward with confidence instead of scrambling when crisis hits.
